| The Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ April 2, 2008, p. A13 June Lucille (Estes) Wayman passed away March 25 in Sun City West, Ariz. She was 86. June was born March 21, 1922 to Robert D. and Helen B. Estes of Oswayo, Penn. She was educated in the Walton, N.Y., school system, a graduate of the Class of 1940. She married Burton E. Wayman on March 23, 1941. She was a homemaker for most of her life. Family members and all who touched her life will recall her extreme devotion and caring for all others, always placing them first in her life, regardless of circumstance. She was an infinite source of inspiration for all. She had not a fonder pride than her husband and children. One of her favorite rituals was a “family surround,” i.e. everyone available coming home for a Sunday afternoon barbecue or dinner. She was a loving wife, a devoted mother, and your best friend. June was the caring mother of 11 children. She is survived by daughters Myrna Larsen of Mesa; Patricia McCarthy of Hope, Idaho; Gail Ericson of Phoenix; and Sandra Loehndorf of Crystal, Lake, Ill.; sons Gary of Gilbert; James of Wickenburg; Dennis of Spanaway, Wash.; Dale of Littleton, Colo.; Danny of Peeples Valley; and Jerry of Phoenix; stepmother Ethel Estes of Oxford, N.Y.; brothers Lionel of Walton, N.Y.; and Jerry of Fabius, N.Y.; 16 grandchildren, and 20 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, brother Robert (a World War II bomber pilot), son Ronald (an athlete) in 1963, and husband Burton in 1998. You have left our side Mom, but you are only “gone from our sight.” Like a ship sailing slowly out of sight beyond the distant horizon, you are now gone. “Gone where one may ask? Gone from our sight, that’s all.” At this moment, there are other eyes watching you coming and shouting joyously: “Here she comes!” Memorial services are pending. Samaritan Funeral Home of Phoenix is assisting with final arrangements |
