June Martin Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
at Ivan Calderwood Homestead Vinalhaven, with her family at her side.
June was born on April 5, 1936, in New Harbor, and lived most of her childhood on Matinicus
Island. She met Benjamin L. Martin, Jr. and moved 'from one rock pile to another' to
Vinalhaven prior to their marriage on October 6, 1956.
Fondly known as Junebug by everyone she knew, she was known for her LOVE of family and
showing them off through all of her photo albums and pictures, weekend sleepovers with her
grandchildren, her peanut butter fudge and pie, her love of dirty jokes, picking crabmeat when
folks dropped off crabs, doing puzzles, playing cards and bingo, her strong dislike of the color
purple, and her light feet on the dance floor.
She attended school on Matinicus, and was very proud when she received her GED from
Vinalhaven High School. June was a Founding member of the Webster-Beckman-Smith VFW
Auxiliary on Vinalhaven and attended Pleasant River Chapel.
Surviving are her four children, Doris (Billy) Warren, Ethel (Peter) Jones, Donna Jean (Jeff) Smith
all of Vinalhaven, Maine, and George (Sarah) Martin of Searsmont. She was known as
Gram/Grammie/Grammie Moosey by her ten grandchildren, Reagan, Kristin, Caitlyn, Kimberly,
Jessica, Heather, James, Morgan, Ryan, and Tyler; and her six great-grandchildren, Payton,
Hadley, Brynlee, Arianna, Maverick and Ryder. She also leaves behind a very special friend,
Ruthie Philbrook. June was predeceased by her husband, Benjamin, siblings, Marjorie, Phyllis,
Verna, James, and Walter, and her grandson Collin.
A graveside service will be held at 11am, Saturday June 7, 2025 at Brown's Head Cemetery, Vinalhaven Maine.
June and Benjamin were avid CB'ers in the day, communicating with folks near and far. Her
handle was Junebug and she was known for her signoff. Until we see you again,
Junebug Clear
