June G. Henton

June G. Henton, 93, of Glastonbury, CT, peacefully passed away on Sunday, January 19, 2025 at Middlesex Hospital, Middletown, CT. Born July 3, 1931 in Suffield, CT daughter of the late John and Gertrude (Baskerville) Hawkins. She was a dedicated, strong and loving matriarch - a mother, sister, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt and close friend whose love was unending and incomparable to all she knew. Her 93 years of life live on through those near to her, who feel her loss immensely and will forever hold dear to her memory. June grew up in Suffield, CT and graduated from Suffield High School. In the years that followed, she married the late Ivan Henton and had eight children. June worked for the State of Connecticut until her retirement as an Insurance Claims Adjuster. After her retirement, June remained a compassionate community member and dedicated her time to Kettle Brook Care Center in East Windsor, CT. She fought through, and overcame, a scare with pancreatic cancer and continued to live a life that centered on the strength and love of her family. A fashionista who believed firmly in always looking your best, a history buff who emphasized the importance of learning from our past, and a World War II movie enthusiast whose empathy was nothing short of unmatched, June was a multifaceted, God-fearing and truly incredible woman. June is survived by a sister, Audrey Hawkins of West Suffield, CT; seven children, Gary Henton of Atlanta, GA, Valerie Freeman of Atlanta, GA, Yvette Minnifield of Glastonbury, CT, Hope Henton-Platt of Windsor, CT, Lori Henton of Atlanta, GA, June Henton-Lewis of West Palm Beach, FL, Lisa Henton of Waldorf, MD; two son-in-laws, Anthony Freeman of Atlanta, GA, Aaron Minnifield of Glastonbury, CT; one daughter-in-law Kathryn Henton of Atlanta, GA; and a host of grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by a son, Maurice Henton, and seven siblings, Kenneth Hawkins, Shirley Hawkins, Sherman Hawkins, Hope Berry, Nelson Hawkins, Alfred Hawkins, and Ronald Hawkins.
