June is the daughter of John D. and Regina (Parro) Roach and was a lifelong resident of Revere and a graduate of Revere High School. After graduating high school, she entered the workforce and worked for many years as an Assistant Accountant. June married Richard Dolan in 1975, and they remained in Revere where they raised their children. June was a devoted wife and mother, and was tirelessly devoted to her home and family. Her home was always tidy and warm, the coffee pot or tea kettle on if anyone dropped in for a visit, and she was always home when her children got home from school. June and her husband would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in October. June's latest career was Event Catering at the Harvard Club in Boston, and at the home of Robert Kraft. One of her proudest moments was when she received the honor of becoming a grandmother. She absolutely adored her grandchildren, spending time with them and laughing with them was when she was the happiest, and she was most involved with their lives. June was also dedicated to her community by her volunteer work, and for many years she worked at the polls during the elections, where people were enamored with her smile and kind and caring nature. She also possessed a deep faith and was a longtime parishioner of St. Mary of the Assumption Church, and charitable to St. Anthony of Padua Church and the St. Vincent de Paul Society in Revere. Everyone who met June walked away a better person.
June is the beloved wife of Richard R. Dolan of Revere. Devoted and loving mother of Matthew Dolan and his wife Alisha of Saugus, Kristine Dolan O'Shaughnessy and her husband Patrick O'Shaughnessy of Nashua, New Hampshire, and the late Colleen Joy Dolan and her surviving wife, Elizabeth Mandell. Adored bonus mom to Tracy Dolan of Maine. Cherished grandmother of Ava Dolan, Michael Dolan, Andrew O'Shaughnessy, James Mandell, Jennifer Smith, Raymond Smith, David Porcaro, and the adored great grandmother of Ariana Smith. She is the dear sister of Patricia Hood of Peabody and Regina Franovich of Revere, and a very special Auntie to many nieces and nephews.
