June K. Franduto

June K. Franduto passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of her family on November 10, 2025, in Cleveland, Ohio. Born on March 12, 1958, to Sieglinde Wilson (the late Frank) and the late Porter Evans (the late Margaret), June's journey was one of joy, family, and an unwavering zest for the simple pleasures of life.
June's heart found its match in Matthew Franduto, her beloved husband of 31 years. Together, they built a life rich in love and laughter. She was a loving mother to Melissa Work (Dan), Kurt Hoes (Amy), and Michelle Harper (Doug), guiding them with her wisdom and nurturing spirit. June's legacy continued through her role as a doting grandmother to Atalie and Bryan Hoes; Ben, Logan, Rozlyn, and Serena Work; and Lillianna, Mirabelle, and Nolan Harper. Her love for her grandchildren knew no bounds, and she was always ready to lend a hand or an ear whenever they needed her.
June's siblings, Werner Evans (Kathy), Lonnie Evans, Frank Wilson (Lynn), Mark Wilson, and the late Ken Wilson, will remember her as the sister who brought light and love into every family gathering.
The beach, especially Litchfield Beach, was June's sanctuary, where she felt one with the waves and the sand. Her love for biking in the park was matched only by her passion for sewing, a skill she proudly embraced as the family seamstress. June's creativity shone brightest when she crafted Halloween costumes for her grandchildren, each stitch woven with love and care.
A master baker, June's Christmas cookies were legendary, and her New Year's Day celebrations became a treasured tradition, with her home open to all, the table loaded with a feast for family and friends. Her hospitality was unmatched, and her dinners were occasions of warmth and togetherness. June lived life with the philosophy that there was always room for one more drink, one more laugh, and one more cherished moment.
June's passing leaves a void in the hearts of those who knew her, but her spirit will continue to inspire us. Her love for her family, her joy in the simple things, and her ability to make every person she met feel special will be her lasting legacy. June Franduto was the quintessential grandmother, the heart of her family, and a beacon of love and kindness. She will be deeply missed, but her memory will forever be a guiding light for all who were blessed to know her.
