June Thibeau, 93, died peacefully on October 2, 2017. She is survived by her husband of 74 years, Jack, and her children Jeffrey (Mary) Thibeau, Matt (Sharon) Thibeau and Carrie Lambie.  She was preceded in death by her daughter Jan.  She is also survived by her grandchildren Shawn (Jen) Thibeau, Craig (Heather) Thibeau, Jeffrey (Danielle) Thibeau, Alexandra Thibeau, Nathaniel Lambie, Kellie Lambie, Sara (Billy) Holbird, Chad (Margie) Roberts, Emily Thibeau and Will Thibeau and nine great-grandchildren.

June was born on May 8, 1924 in Hamtramck, Michigan to Robert and Nora Chall.    

June met her husband when they were in junior high school and when they first became known as the couple “Jack and June.”  She became a war bride in 1943 when she married Jack who was then serving in the U.S. Army during World War II. Their storybook romance continued for 74 years. Their affection and devotion to each other continued to her last days. June’s children called her “Junebug” a nickname that captured her fun-loving spirit. Even through life’s tragedies she remained cheerful and resilient.  

A loving and devoted mother, she was always den mother and room mother for her children, returning to work when her children left home.

She enjoyed traveling with her husband, gardening, bridge and entertaining family and friends.  The lemon meringue pies she often baked were legendary.
