June, beloved wife of the late John Mitchell of Calgary, Alberta, passed away on August 15, 2017, at the age of 95 years.
The only child of Gordon and Jean Cornell, June spent her childhood on Palm Beach in Powell River. She went to nursing school at Vancouver General Hospital and took Public Health at UBC, where she met John. They were married and resided in Calgary for the rest of their lives but returned to Palm Beach every summer for a few weeks renewing friendships.
June was genuinely interested in people and gave her time freely to all who came to her for practical, yet inventive advice.
June is survived by Robin (Judy), Barbara, James (Wendy) and grandchildren Zoe, Maya, Victoria, Blake.
Mom, you’ll always be missed.
