June Sakakibara Untalan

Having lived a rewarding and fulfilling life, June S. Untalan started her journey to her everlasting rest on April 18, 2022 in Maui Hawaii. Born in Guam, June was married to her beloved, Juan Hanui Untalan for 43 years.

Appreciated for her creativity, June was a talented designer, seamstress, and quilter. An incomparable baker, June delighted her family and friends with cakes, pies, turnovers, bread and cinnamon rolls – warm and delicious from the oven -- and most notably, for her signature dessert, Lemon Meringue Pie.

In 1986, June moved to Newbury Park, California where she built a life filled with countless circle of friends, friends from her workdays at JD Powers, friends from St Julie’s Catholic Church, and friends from her neighborhood on Gilbert Street. With a passion for travel, June enjoyed cruises to the Caribbean and Mexico, trips to Europe and numerous cities in the United States.

"And when great souls die, after a period peace blooms, slowly and always irregularly.

Spaces fill with a kind of soothing electric vibration. Our senses, restored, never to be

the same, whisper to us. They existed. They existed. We can be. Be and be better.

For they existed". Maya Angelou

June’s legacy continues through her children, Jenny Gutierrez, John Untalan, Bernadette Gilbert, Therese Nagy, six grandchildren, five great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.

We can Be. And Be Better for our Mom, June S. Untalan, existed. And for this, we are eternally grateful
