JUNE KELLINGTON(nee HOBSON)
On Friday, February 19, 2016 June died peacefully at the Grace Hospital at the age of 86 with family members by her side.
Left to lovingly remember June is her good friend Bill Thompson; brothers Elton, (Grace) George, (Marlene); twin brother Gerald, (Anne); sister in law Margaret Kellington; brother in law Tom Brisson (Mavis) and many special nieces and nephews. June’s large circle of friends will also miss her vivacious and vibrant personality. She was predeceased by her husband Morris, (Moe); parents William and Ethel Hobson and siblings Gary, Gladys, William and Elsie.
June enjoyed many blessings in her life. She was an avid reader, loved to travel and could dance all night. As a keen sports enthusiast, she enjoyed swimming, curling and golf. She had a passion for the game of Bridge and held the title of International Master Player. June displayed confidence, determination and skill in every thing she endeavoured.
We will forever remember and cherish the memory of June’s optimistic nature and positive spirit.

Special thanks to June’s niece Leslie Spiers, (John) who has been her caregiver, soul-mate and mentor since June’s cancer diagnosis two years ago. Our gratitude to the staff of the Grace Hospital for their care and compassion and to all family members and friends who visited and stayed in touch. God bless you.
