June Ann Misuraca

December 11, 1933 - August 1, 2020

June Misuraca, beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother passed away on Saturday August 1, 2020 in Kamloops, BC at the age of 86. After months of failing health, June passed peacefully with her husband John by her side. June was preceded in death by her parents and survived by her children Rodney (Marianne), Richard (Melissa), grandchildren Michelle (Candace), Anthony, Matthew, Samuel, Alexandra and great grandchildren Benjamin, Adam and Dan.

June was born on December 11, 1933 in Nelson, BC to James & Bertha Sutherland. She attended school and graduated from LV Rogers Secondary. As a young girl, June excelled in swimming and took lessons in Kootenay Lake. She passed her certificate only after swimming from one side of the lake to the other.

In 1952 she met the love of her life John and they were married on May 23, 1955 and went to Chicago for their honeymoon. June worked for BC Tel as a Switch Board Operator and later as a Supervisor before she decided to focus on her family. Together they raised two children Rodney and Richard who were both born in Nelson.

In 1974 John transferred to Revelstoke for better work opportunities and June settled in to her new home. Many life long friendships were made in Revelstoke. June hosted many dinner parties. Friends and family enjoyed her pasta dishes and Christmas baking which she took great pleasure in sharing. She loved gardening and took pride in her roses which bloom to this day. She was a devout Catholic and was a member of the K-Cette’s and Ladies of St Francis and spent many hours volunteering with her friends.

In their retirement years, June and John travelled to Australia, Waikiki and visiting her sister Loretta and her husband Arthur where they enjoyed many trips to Las Vegas, Lake Powell and Zion National Park.

June was very caring, loving and soft spoken with a heart of gold who put others before herself. She will be greatly missed by all her family and friends.

The family would like to thank her extended family and friends for their love and support they showed June over the years. A special thank you to the medical staff at Royal Inland Hospital and Kamloops Senior Village for their care.

A private Mass will be held at Holy Family Catholic Church for immediate family. Interment at Hillside Cemetery, Kamloops, BC

"The Day God Called You Home"

God looked around His garden and saw an empty space,

Then He looked down upon this earth, and saw your loving face.

He put His arms around you, and lifted you to rest,

His garden must have been beautiful, He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain,

And knew that you would never get well on this earth again.

He saw your path was difficult, He closed your tired eyes,

He whispered "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.

When we saw you sleeping, so calm and free from pain,

We could not wish you back, on earth, to suffer once again.

You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,

You live on through your children, you're always by our side.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone,

For part of us went with you, on the day God called you Home.

"Psalm 23"

The Lord is my shepherd;

I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green

pastures;

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul:

He leadeth me in the paths of

righteousness for his names sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley

of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil:

For thou art with me;

Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me

in the presence of mine enemies:

Thou anointest my head with oil;

My cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall

follow me

all the days of my life,

And I will dwell in the house of the

Lord forever
