FOREST DALE - June Anne (Johnson) Doaner, age 76, died Monday, Dec 2, 2024, as she wished at her home beside her Christmas tree, watching holiday movies while in the care of her family.
June was born in Forest Dale on June 17, 1948 at the house she grew up in. She was the daughter of Willis and Gladys (Swenor) Johnson and a graduate of Otter Valley Union High School, class of 1966. She married Allan Richard Doaner at St. Mary's Church in Brandon on March 9, 1968.
June was employed until her cancer diagnosis in 2014 and had several occupations throughout her life including work at First Brandon National Bank, Freeman Jewelers and establishing a family-owned business with Allan: Doaner's TV Center.
June, a self-proclaimed rebel, had a hearty laugh and kept her sense of humor to her last days. Due to her tenacity, she survived over a decade with metastatic lung cancer and associated pulmonary disease and got to live out her life in the home she raised her kids in. She was a lover of chocolate with peanut butter, feeding the birds, caring for stray cats, Christmas and especially flowers and gardening.
She is survived by her son, Daniel Doaner, and wife Nancy of Forest Dale; her daughter, Sarah Abberton, and her husband, Michael, of Bow, NH; 5 grandchildren Cassandra, Brandi, Angus, Gabriel and Garrett; and 1 great granddaughter, Addyson.
She was predeceased by her parents, her sister Willa Hotte, and her husband.
The graveside committal service and burial will take place, in the spring, at St. Mary's Cemetery in Brandon, when an abundance of flowers can be planted at the graveside.
Until then, buy flowers for your own mother in her memory. Or make a memorial gift to Rutland County Humane Society, 765 Stevens Road, Pittsford, VT 05763, or The American Cancer Society.
