It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of June Burns at the age of 94 after a full and well lived life.
Predeceased by her beloved husband of 68 years Patrick in 2019. Nana was a loving mother to her two daughters, Patricia Kennedy and her husband Patrick, and Barbara Larcina and husband Art. She was happiest being the much loved and adored grandmother of Daniel Kennedy (Adam), Michael Kennedy (Patrick), Jeff Larcina (Danielle) and Sara Tanaka (Michael) and celebrated each of their accomplishments with enthusiasm and humor. Her legacy will continue through them and her loving great grandchildren, Georgia, Frederica, Kiara and Jack.
She was the center of our family and will be sorely missed by us all. She lived an active and rich life and her generosity and love was legendary among family and friends. She met all challenges with steely determination and was the family's matriarch. Her life was enriched by the abundant love of her family and many friends and passions including golf, travel and tracking each grandchild's success and exploits.
The family will receive friends on Thursday, March 2nd at Paul O'Connor Funeral Home, 1939 Lawrence Ave, East, from 6 pm to 8:00 pm.
