In Loving Memory of June Carol Patricia Loe
June 1933 — April 2016

June Carol Patricia Loe, of St. Albert, Alta., passed away peacefully on April 5, 2016, 11 years after her late husband Raymond Douglas Loe. She was 82 years old.

June was born June 20, 1933 to Clara (Haaland) Vick and Peter Vick. That marriage was short-lived and, along with her mother, the Bethlehem community outside Hanley, Sask., served as an integral role during June’s formative years. June’s mother married John Peterson, of Alticane, Sask., in 1953 and that union included four step-sisters for June — Laura, Helen, Jeannine and Elaine.

June married Ray Loe in 1953 in Hanley and together they raised three children: Marilyn, Sandy and Wayne. They left the family farm in 1960 and moved to Yorkton. After their kids were finished school, they transferred to Kindersley and then a few years later, to Regina. Upon retirement, they returned to their Hanley roots, and there they thoroughly enjoyed travelling, spending time with family, attending community events, making daily coffee treks to the local café, and visiting with friends and relatives. As time moved on and their medical needs became an issue, it was decided they should move to St. Albert, Alta., to be closer to family.

Predeceased by her husband, parents, parents-in-law, grandson, and brother-in-law, June is survived by her children: Marilyn (Larry) Okotinsky of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; Sandy (Arnie) Grocholski of Qualicum Beach, B.C.; Wayne (Laurie) Loe of St. Albert, Alta.; grandchildren: Derek (Juliana), John (Laurelle), James, Kynan (Angie), Brennan; step-grandchildren: Alex, Owen; eight great-grandchildren; four step-sisters and their families; sister-in-law Sylvia; nephew Doug; niece Jan; and four great-nieces and great-nephews.

Gathering and interment of ashes in the Hanley cemetery to take place at a later date.
