Predeceased by her parents Beth and Walter Eggertson.

June started working at Great West Life on Lombard and finished as a city employee at Fort Garry Library. June learned golf from her time living with Linc in Amherst, NS in the late 1940s and then became very involved with the Roarin' Game through Linc, and his Johnson- Strathcona family, her sons and finally by joining the Wildewood Club Ladies Curling - famous for her high hard ones! Loni and Ponemah Beaches occupied many summers and Mom also traveled to Bahamas as well as London, England with her close friend Muriel Smith. Mom was active with the Winnipeg Druggists' Ladies Auxiliary, hosting many bridge parties. With pride she shared the game with her kids and her parents... 20 Minutes for lunch, Walter! Mom enjoyed with pride watching her two grandchildren, Chase and Michelle develop wonderfully, and recently was presented with a great-granddaughter, Jordyn, in 2007. Mom spent the past four years peacefully as a resident of Tuxedo Villa and the family would like to express our appreciation of the kind and gentle care she personally received from all the Staff at Station 3.
