June Geminder Obituary
June 4, 1938 - September 27, 2019. Loving wife of Charles Richard Geminder (deceased). Loving mother of Suzanne Patterson (Scott), Judith Wallace (Jon), Michael Wallace (Shawn). June was so very proud of her 5 grandchildren: Neil, Hannah, Dylan, Drew and Jack. June was also a "bonus " mother to Don Geminder (deceased), David Geminder (Joyce), Chuck Geminder (Tanya) and a "bonus" grandmother to Christina, Billy, Brandi and Alyssa.
June was born in Warsash, England and was very proud of her British heritage. She leaves behind the beloved Adnitt family as well as her lifelong friend Maureen Hunt. June had an accomplished career as an office manager for the Northwestern Memorial Hospital medical team of Gregor, Holstein and Sullivan in downtown Chicago and in her retirement enjoyed a part-time position managing the gallery and office at the Tall Grass Arts Association in Park Forest. June lived her life with grace and style and was truly a beautiful person inside and out. Her favorite thing to do was spend time with loved ones and the years of love and laughter will live in our hearts forever.
Interment will be private on Wed Oct 2 at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery, Elwood, IL. A celebration of life will be announced and held at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations to St Jude Children's Hospital will be appreciated in her honor.

5 years and the pain lingers leaving a massive hole in my soul. I miss you so much but hope that you are with your creator and reunited with your mother and father. Life for me has not been the same and never will be. I am lost on this earth without my mother, my best friend, my confidante, my cheerleading section, the only one who had my back no matter what.

Remembering my cousin June with great fondness and love. I have great memories of June and her family though I hadn't seen her for 10 or more years due to living so far apart. God bless you June.

Remembering my best friend, June whom I met at The Gregg School, Southampton, England when we were eleven.
The friendship lasted seventy years and survived the fact that, eventually, we lived in different continents.
