She was born in Uxbridge, daughter of the late Fernie and Edith (Trainor) White and lived most of her life in Oxford and Charlton.

June had a zest for life, a fun-loving personality and made friends wherever she went. A devoted wife, “Juney” spent many years working alongside her husband at their family business, Charlton Furniture.

Most of her life was spent caring for her home and family through decorating, cooking, flower gardening, and keeping a warm home for her family. One of her favorite past times was watching the New England Patriots, especially Tom Brady. However, what meant the most to June was her family. She was an extremely generous and nurturing woman who will be greatly missed.

The family would like to thank all of Miss June’s dedicated care-takers including: Norma Mailloux, Cheryl Sauriol, Judy Krupinski, Kathleen Halloran and Anna Lach and the Overlook VNA nurses.

A private graveside service will be held at Westridge Cemetery in Charlton. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Oxford Fire Department, 181 Main St., Oxford, MA 01540. Paradis-Givner Funeral Home in Oxford is directing the arrangements.
