Salter, June 1936-2016


June passed away peacefully, with family at her side, in

Victoria, on Jan. 19, 2016 at the age of 79. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

Predeceased by her beloved husband Bob, she is survived by her family, daughters Carol (Gary),

Susie (Gord), Pamela (Scott), son Rob (Peggy), grandchildren Sean (Maegan), Adam (Colleen), Bethany,

Lucas, Travis (Maria), Brock, Carly, Chelsea, Cole, great-

grandchildren Maverick and Jack, sisters Grace and Pearl, many nieces, great-nieces and nephews.

June was born in Winnipeg, where she grew up, worked, married Bob, and raised her family. June lived most of her married life in the Municipality of West St. Paul. June and Bob moved to Sooke in 1986 when they retired. June was an outgoing, caring, spontaneous person. She always had a smile, kind word, or joke for everyone she met. Her smile would light up a room. It was not unusual to see her dressed up giving “A Toast to the Haggis” or in

costume singing as Tina Turner. She was quite a character!! June belonged to the Red Hats, the Sooke Legion where she played shuffleboard, and she attended the “Widow’s Lunch Group”. She was a die-hard Vancouver Canucks but always had a special place in her heart for the Winnipeg Jets.

She will be dearly missed by her family and many

wonderful friends.

A Celebration of her Life will be held

on April 10, 2016 at the

Sooke Legion Branch #54 at 2:00pm.

In Lieu of flowers a donation may be

made to the Sooke Hospice.
