June was predeceased by her beloved husband James, as well as her mother and father, Perry “Pat” and Joyce Hammond. June was born and raised in Calgary, AB. At the age of 17, June was the Alberta Highland Dance Champion, a title she held for several years. Later she met and married her husband Jim, and started a family. In 1969, Jim and June moved their family south of High River where they owned and operated a poultry farm. Upon retiring they settled in High River where June became very involved in Genealogy, and spent much time helping families trace their roots. June was an avid bowler and enjoyed many hours at the High River Bowling Alley. On the weekends, June could be found at one of her grandchildren’s (or great grandchildren’s) events, enthusiastically cheering them on. In later years June resided at Seasons Retirement Home in High River, where she enjoyed bingo and afternoon sing-a-longs. The family would like to thank the Seasons Retirement Home and the High River Hospital Emergency Staff for their outstanding care and compassion towards June and her family.
