Kathleen June Radney

1928 - 2021

Kathleen June Radney, age 92, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, on Sunday, March 7, 2021. June was born on June 25, 1928, in Port Burwell, Ontario, Canada, to Bill and Alice Frishette. She graduated from Arthur Voaden Secondary School in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada, where she was active in theater. After graduating, she worked at Imperial Bank of Canada and followed her passion performing in many plays in local theaters in the St. Thomas area. In 1952, June met William Marvin Radney, the love of her life, in Buffalo, New York, and they were married on October 31, 1953. They spent many memorable anniversaries together handing out candy to trick-or-treaters. Together, they had two sons. Marvin and June were active in the Galveston Bay Power Squadron and enjoyed traveling together as well as spending time with family and friends. As a lifelong Presbyterian, June's love for the Lord and her infectious laugh brought joy to everyone around her. She was devoted to her family and supported her husband and boys in all of their educational and professional endeavors. June was an avid gardener and enjoyed caring for God's creation through planting flowers and tending to her vegetable garden. She was also an excellent seamstress and needle pointer. Her talents in the kitchen were unsurpassed as she created wonderful meals and tasty baked goods for family and friends. June always made holiday gatherings very special with her gracious hospitality and the sumptuous meals that she prepared. Some of her favorite times were traveling the world with Marvin and their annual trip each fall to Canada to visit family and friends. She also enjoyed being involved in her grandchildren's lives, from hosting them at "Camp Seabrook," to cheering them on in all of their athletic events and finally watching each of them graduate from Texas A&M University. June is survived by her loving husband Marvin of 67 years, their oldest son, Mark, his wife, Cheryl, and their sons, David and Matthew; and their youngest son, Terry, his wife, Ann, and their children, Will and Katherine. The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to Mitzi, Brigitte, Baylie, Stephanie, Cynthia, Lauren, Georgeana and the other wonderful caregivers who provided tender, loving care to June during the last several years as she battled Alzheimer's.
