June Silver Obituary
June Lois Silver (nee Reich), 95, passed away peacefully at her home in Egg Harbor City, New Jersey on December 28, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. June was born in the Bronx, New York on July 6, 1930, to parents Jeanette and Albert Reich. She was the eldest of three sisters including Barbara Montesi, who passed in 2011, and Skip Himelstein of San Diego, California. She grew up in Hartford, Connecticut, and was a graduate of Weaver High School. In addition to her sister Barbara, June was predeceased by her parents, her loving husband of 60 years Stan Silver, her brother-in-law, David Himelstein and son-in-law, Michael Strong.
June lived in South Windsor, Connecticut most of her adult life, from 1958 to 2017. She was very active in South Windsor activities including the little league, library, Meals on Wheels, Grossi Dance Academy, yoga and bowling. She worked in the South Windsor school system and Bradley's Department Store for over 30 years. June and Stan were proud founding members of Temple Beth Hillel in South Windsor in 1961.
June and Stan raised three children in South Windsor, Alane Strong of Knoxville, Tennessee, Richard (Christine) of Stamford, Connecticut and Robert (Monica) of Mays Landing, New Jersey. In addition to her children, June is survived by six grandchildren, Melissa and Matt Strong, Jeffrey (Lori-Beth), Derek (Elia), Abby Silver and Justin Silver, two great-grandchildren, Julian Silver and Weston Silver, as well as many nephews, nieces, cousins and friends.
For the past eight years June resided at the Rittenberg Manor in Egg Harbor City, New Jersey where she was very active in local Galloway Township Senior Center activities and made many friends. She remained a fiercely loyal UConn Husky basketball and Boston Red Sox baseball fan and watched those teams play whenever she could. June had a great spirit and was completely independent until her passing. Throughout her blessed 95 years, she made many friends, and she always wanted to help people. True to that spirit, June is making contributions to both the Temple Beth Hillel and the Galloway Township Senior Center in New Jersey.
A graveside service will be held on Monday, January 12, 2026, 11 a.m. at Wapping Cemetery, 50 Oakland Rd., South Windsor. For online condolences please visit www.carmonfuneralhome.com
June's requested final thoughts were "make the best of a situation and do the best of it when it arises."

Dear Alane, Richard and Rob,
I was so sorry to hear about your mom´s passing. Even at 95, losing a parent leaves a space nothing else quite fills. I´ve been thinking a lot about the three of you and all the years our families spent woven into each other´s lives.
Your mom was such a steady, warm presence-always kind, always welcoming, and always genuinely interested in the people around her. I have so many memories of being at your house and feeling that sense of comfort she created without even trying. And I can´t forget that she was the absolute best cheerleader for our Cubs team. No one routed for us like June Bug. She had a quiet strength that showed in the way she raised all of you, and it´s something I´ve always admired.
Even though life has taken us to different states and different routines, I´ve always valued staying in touch with you. The friendship we built growing up has lasted a lifetime, and that´s something your mom helped shape just by being who she was.
I hope the days ahead bring you more peace than sadness, and that the stories, the laughter, and the long arc of her life give you comfort. She lived a remarkable 95 years, and she leaves behind the three of you who carry her best qualities forward.
Please know I´m thinking of all you and your families and holding your family close in my heart.
With sympathy and friendship,
Paul & Kate Murphy

June Silver personified the title "Friend" for the thirty years I knew her through her efforts at the South Windsor Library. Her always-cheerful acceptance of every challenge presented by our programs and activities kept our focus on welcoming everyone, and her voice still echoes when new projects are launched. I offer condolences to June's family for their loss; she will always be remembered with love.
