2 June, 1929 – 25 July, 2026 (late of Darfield): It is with deep sadness that the family announce the passing of June, who left us peacefully at The Oaks. Dearly loved wife of the late Selwyn, with whom she shared many treasured memories, loved stepmother and Grandma to the Robertson family.

Her humour, generosity, and ability to make every gathering brighter will be remembered fondly across generations. May she rest in peace. The family extends their heartfelt thanks to all the staff at The Oaks for their loving care, respect, and gentleness shown to June.
