June Begley Obituary

Begley, June
Rochester: June Begley left this world on November 6th, 2007 to be reunited with her loving parents. She was born in Ireland and came to the United States with her parents and brother. June earned her Bachelors Degree at Naareth College, and her Masters of Art at Alfred University. She had many vocations but found her true calling when she became a Child Psychologist for the Greece School District, where she has worked since 1988. In this capacity, she was able to work and care for "her kids" whom she loved with her heart and soul.
June loved living life to its fullest. She had a great many passions, including a deep love of animals, books, music, the arts, the New York Times Sunday Crossword Puzzle (which she did in ink), and traveling west to visit family and friends. She was also a talented decorator and stylist.
Her red hair and love of green symbolized her heritage and joy for all things Irish. We will miss her kind heart and wonderful sense of humor
She is survived by her brother Al Begley, her nephew Ryan Begley, her loving Aunts and Uncles, Hilda & Donald Wendt and Irene & Cecil Young, her favorite cousins Colleen Magee, Margie York, Carol Windrum, Tiffany Richter, Shannon Skaja, and her dear friend, John Redmond. She also leaves her precious pets, Ireland & Shamrock. June's life will be celebrated with a Visitation Wednesday, 6-9 PM at Miller Funeral Homes, Inc. (3325 Winton Rd. So.) A Memorial service will be celebrated at a date and time to be announced. Please visit the funeral home website for the memorial service information and to leave a message of condolence for the family. June had a fondness for flowers, especially fall flowers. Memorial donations may also be made to either VNS Hospice or Lollypop Farms

To June's dear friends and family...I worked with June starting in 1970 and she was my maid/matron of honor when I first got married in 1971. I had wonderful memories of fun times with June and with John and we enjoyed many many laughs and games and stories... We joked about her alphabetizing her soup cans and her love of her kitties and her "greenvet". I'm sorry I hadn't seen her this past year and didn't know she was ill. I thought about her again this past August 16th as I think that was the anniversary of Elvis' passing...a day she remembered herself every year...

Dear loving family of June,
I'm sorry we never really got to know you. We would see June on summer visits to Red's house on Canandaigua Lake. I was mesmerized by the endless amounts of trivia that she and Red knew; I'm sure those NYT crosswords played a part. June was this cute little redhead, who just beamed when she told her story of meeting Elvis, and who remembered little details about what you had told her the year before. She took an interest in everyone around her, and loved to laugh. She was sarcastic and witty, and she had no patience for nonsense. I liked her. I haven't seen June in years, but I was overcome with sadness to hear about her passing. I am sure she was a spark in your lives, and in the lives of countless kids. She made an impression on the world that won't be forgotten. I mourn your loss, a loss to more than you ever will know. My deepest sympathies to you all and to everyone who knew her. God, Red is gonna miss her! I'm sure he already does.
G'bye, Junebug. Say hi to Elvis. I bet he remembers you.

"Junebug" "Junesie" That's what John called her. So did we. Many years they spent Thanksgiving at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Tony brought his own turkey to NY. June turned on the oven (maybe). We met them every year the Friday after.
Next week we will celebrate the memory of all those good times with a cocktail at PJ Clarkes (where it all started) and a prayer at St Patrick's Cathedral.
We'll miss you Junebug.
Love,
Uncle Sal and Jackie
