June McEWEN (Campbell)
February 8, 1924 – March 5, 2012
William “Bill” McEWEN
July 23, 1919 – March 6, 2012

After 67 years of marriage, June and Bill passed away peacefully within a day of each other, a fitting end to a true love story. June died at home after a lengthy illness, and Bill after only a few days in hospital. They will be missed and lovingly remembered by their sons Bill (Marion) and John (Rosalie), their granddaughters Andrea (Kevin) and Heather (Chris), and their many nieces, nephews and friends. June is also survived by her sister Lyn, and Bill by his sister Marjorie. Bill grew up in Thunder Bay, ON. June was raised in Digby, N.S., where she met Bill while he was serving in the navy. They settled in North Vancouver in 1955, where they raised their family and remained until their passing.

Bill was in the wholesale drapery business for 30 years. They loved to travel, curl and golf. Bill was a member of Marine Drive Golf Club and Vancouver Naval Veterans Assoc., and curled until he was 91. June kept a welcoming home, and was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. She enjoyed reading, the symphony and bridge.

June was cared for at home over the last few years by Bill and their amazing caregiver Rita Consolacion. Many thanks to Dr.Chalmers, the staff of Lions Gate Hosp., Fay and the rest of N. Shore Community Home Support. A memorial service will be held at Highlands United Church at 2:00pm, March 24. In lieu of flowers, donations in their name may be made to the Alzheimer Society of BC (www.alzheimerbc.org).
