Mr. Chapin passed away on November 19, 1995. June worked as a Home Care Worker within St. Lawrence County. She enjoyed fishing and hunting. She was always there to help with haying, or cutting wood; and in later years to "supervise". She loved wildlife, going riding to see deer and watching her birds at the feeders, especially her favorites, the hummingbirds. June's chuckle would fill the air, and her smile and the twinkle in her eyes would brighten any room. She is survived by two sons, Tress Chapin of Montana, Brian Chapin of Edwards; a daughter, Kimberly Beyer of California; and 5 sisters, Leota Lincoln, Virginia Moore, Maxine Ricalton, Barbara Curran, and Dawn Atkinson. She is also survived by 4 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren her buddy, Max, her golden retriever.
