June Carrol
June Carrol Guy (“Junebug”), a Sitka resident since 1959, passed away Aug. 15 at her home here. She was 84.
June Carrol Guy
She was born Sept. 8, 1931, in Pollock, S.D., to George and Rose Jones. She had six brothers and sisters: Nancy (Don) Nieuwsma, Dwight (Jody) Jones, Carol (Clarence) Vander Laan, Rolland (Sonora) Jones, Karen Plaggemeyer and Norma (Stan) Williams.
In 1959, while living in Shelton, Wash., June was shown photos of Sitka. She made the decision that they were moving, went home and told her husband, Richard Guy, that the mill was hiring in Sitka and they were going.
Before the year was out they had landed in Sitka, and never looked back.
June loved life in Sitka, and raised her eight children here.
June loved to cook and bake, and most of the jobs she held involved cooking or baking. Even when not working she was still cooking and baking – for family, friends and neighborhood kids.
June was an active member of the Sitka Emblem Club. She loved to help out where needed, and spent many hours cooking for numerous Emblem Club functions.
June is survived by her eight children: Robyn (Larry) McCrehin of Sitka; Ricky (Kathy) Guy of Arkansas; Ron (Tina) Guy of Sitka; Billy (Sandy) Guy of Sitka; Debbie (Mike) Haag of Palmer; Sandy (Steve) Guy of North Pole; Donna (Dave) Alsept of Spokane, Wash.; and Lynda (Randy) Garrison of Montana.
Many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, in-laws and close dear friends also survive. A special acknowledgement is given to her good friend, Dave Miller.
Services will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 20, at the Elks Lodge. All friends and family are welcome to attend.
The family suggests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Sitka Fire Department and/or the Sitka Emblem Club.
