She was also preceded in death by her husband, Colonel C.S. ( Brooks) Romedy Jr., her brother, Commander Hayden Maginnis, and his wife, Betty Maginnis, and two nephews, Robert and David Maginnis. She is survived by a daughter, Beth Howell ( married to Sam Boles), and a son, Brooks Romedy, plus four grandchildren: Evan Howell, Brooke Howell Maurer (Josh), Brooks H. Romedy, and Patricia Romedy. Mrs. Romedy graduated from Bangor High School and Lankenau School of Nursing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as part of the Cadet Nurse Corps of World War II. June was known for her gentle strength as a steadfast military spouse, a creative decorator, a kind nature, and a devoted mother and grandmother. She was voted most popular in high school and most likely to jitterbug in the pool in nursing school. She loved Christmas and often shopped and prepared for Christmas as early as July. She enjoyed life, lunch bunch with her friends, golfing, and jet skiing well into her 80s. She will be buried next to her husband in Arlington National Cemetery.
