It is with profound sadness that our family announces the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother, JUNE PAULINE McEWEN of Lethbridge, AB. Mom passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 24, 2021 at the age of 90 years.
Her passing has created a void in the lives she left behind - one that can never be filled. Mom leaves to cherish her memory, her son: Warren (Susan), and her three daughters: Linda (Dennis), Bonnie (Richard, predeceased), and Jeanne (Harold), as well as 12 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren, and 4 great-great-grandchildren.
Mom was born in Lethbridge, AB on Aug 8, 1930. She grew-up on the family farm, north of Lethbridge with her parents, Karl and Nellie Jorgensen, three brothers and three sisters. She married Dan McEwen in November 1948 and they moved into their home they built in Hardieville, AB., where they raised their family. She resided in their home for 65 years. Dad passed away suddenly in 1998, but Mom remained in their home in Hardieville until 2016, when she moved to the Pemmican Lodge in Lethbridge.
Mom devoted her life to raising her children and nurturing her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They were the light of her life. Through her quiet, loving dedication to her family, she left us beautiful memories and a lasting legacy of love. How beautiful is a mother's love. How blessed are the lives it touches.
Mom found great joy in tending to her flower gardens. She found delight in simple things like sunrises and rainbows. She loved doing crossword puzzles. But above all, she loved spending time with her family.
Some lives are like a song; every note rare and precious. We feel very lucky to have heard the music. We will always remember her humble and gracious presence, and cherish her kind heart, beautiful soul, gentle spirit, and deep love. Mom made this world a kinder and warmer place with her gentle, quiet personality, shy smile and happy giggles.
She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. In our heart's memory, she will linger sweetly, tenderly forever.
God has you in His keeping. We have you in our hearts.
A private family service will be held at a later date.
A special thank you to Renee with Home Care, and to the amazing staff who cared for Mom in the St. Michael's Palliative Care Unit.

I was so sorry to hear of June's passing. I'm retired now, but she was one of my favorite coustomers at Thrift way. Such a kind humble soft spoken lady. I know June will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know her.
A mother's love is alive forever. In the lessons she taught, the patience she gave, and in the hearts of the children she raised. Our prayers go out to you in this time of great sadness. Take good care of each other and share all of the fun memories when you can. I'm sure June would be proud of the great family she has been such a big part of, and all of the support you have provided her.
Wishing Jeanne and the rest of the McEwan family our deepest sympathies on the loss of your dear Mom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
We're so sad for your loss Bonnie, Linda, Jennie & Warren & Families. Your mom was a very kind caring lady, someone always with a smile on her face. You mentioned her giggles in your write up and I remember them too. I have fond memories during my childhood of the Hardieville Hush Puppy group she and Mrs. Chapman ran for the girls. May Happy Memories fill your hearts and God's strength help you get through this difficult time.
Linda, Warren, Bonnie, Jeannie and families I was so sad to hear of your moms passing. She was such a sweet lady. Thinking of you and hoping your loving memories carry you through this sad time. Thinking of you all.
Deep condolences to the family for the loss of your precious mother.
