1931 - October 6, 2024
June MacKay 93, wife, mother and friend passed away peacefully on October 6th, 2024. June was born in Prince George, the youngest of ten siblings. She grew up during the Depression and war years in this large and happy household. After graduating high school, June attended St Paul’s nursing school in Vancouver. Three fun-filled years later, she returned to her hometown to begin working as a RN.
Throughout her life, June had a wide variety of hobbies and interests. Always an avid reader, she skipped a curling team in her younger days. When she retired from the hospital, June had more time to have fun. She enjoyed quilting, playing bridge, golfing with friends and volunteering at the Hospital Thrift store. June was a member of the Artists Co-Op and loved to draw and paint, even up to her final illness.
June is survived by T.A., her best friend and husband of 64 years, her four children, four grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews, as well as her close friends and neighbours.
June was a kind, practical and good natured woman. She will be missed. The family would like to thank Dr. Hillhouse and the staff at Jubilee Lodge for taking care of Mom in her final year.
A Celebration to Remember her will take place at 2:00 pm, November 9th at the Elder Citizens Recreation Association 1692 10th Avenue, Prince George.
