- Obituary:
June Winnifred Greer (nee Wiley) passed away at the River View Manor in Bath, NB Thursday, September 2, 2021. She was born in Divide NB, on June 11, 1942 to parents Jennie May Wiley (ne Currie) and Don Wiley and is survived by her four daughters Winnifred (Carl Marchand), Maggie (Willis White), Jennifer (Rodney McQuade) and Heather (Kevin Stockall). Her grandchildren, Jacob & Matthew McQuade, Logan, Althea & Greer Guest, and Paige & Brooke Stockall and her sister, Ferne (Arden Dingee). June was predeceased by her loving husband, Grenville Spence Greer, and her brother Wesley Frederick (Freddy) Wiley.
June graduated from Carleton County Vocational School in 1961 and took a position at McCain Foods in the accounting department. Shortly after meeting Grenville at her sister’s wedding, the two were married and began life together September 26, 1964. They were married 40 years and had four daughters. June loved her children, sons-in-law and the grandchildren that followed. She shared that love in her words, hugs, kisses and smiles and so very often in the enormous amounts of home baked brown bread, apple pies, cookies, pickles and jams that she showered upon her family. Her example was well set; to this day her children and all her grandchildren cook, bake and make preserves. June instilled in her children the need for balance in this life. A healthy lifestyle with exercise and proper food was important, but you also need to take the time to rest from work and to treat yourself in the moment. Although she did not imbibe often, June enjoyed a splash of Baileys in her coffee or a cold Budweiser and she and dad were often seen cutting a rug at the local jamborees and taking in events like the Irish Festival in the Miramichi.
When her kids were out the door and embarking on their own adventures, June took the opportunity to do something she always wanted to do: nurse. Fulfilling that life- long dream, she began working at the River View Manor. She loved working there, and her co-workers loved having her there. Who knew that shortly after her retirement the manor would become her home, but who better to provide for her care than her work family - the people who already knew her well. ‘June Bug’, as she was affectionately known at the Manor, has been a constant presence there since 2013 and she will be greatly missed.
We love you mom, ma mere, Grammy June, June Bug! Until we meet again.
