June Rogers
(January 21st 1937 - May 3rd 2024)
It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of June Rogers, at the age of 87, with her family by her side on May 3rd, 2024 at Amica Taunton in Whitby.
June will be forever missed and lovingly remembered by her daughter, Nicola and husband Brian, and her three grandchildren, Andrew (Katie), Rachel (Jesse) and Kevin (Maddy). June was born in England, the fourth of six children of Walter and Ellen Greaves.
In 1981 June moved from England to Canada with her only child Nicola, to start a new life in Unionville, Ontario with her beloved husband, Michael Rogers. They were happily married for 40 years, until Mike’s passing in August 2021.
June lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures, such as tending to her beautiful gardens, photography, reading, crossword puzzles and spending time with her family.
Being a grandma brought the greatest joy to June’s life. She was so proud of her grandchildren.
June loved to travel with Mike and their friends, with memorable holidays to Italy, Hawaii, California, and Australia.
She never forgot her ties to England and would often travel to visit family and friends she still had there.
June had a lifelong passion for music and loved to play the piano and sing her favourite songs. We are so grateful to the staff at Amica for their care in the last few months of her life.
While we are heartbroken at losing her, we feel a sense of relief that June is no longer in pain and is finally at peace.

Joyce Blanche Roxborough
June 8, 1941 - May 2, 2024
Surrounded by her children, Joyce passed from us on May 2, 2024 after a brief illness.
Predeceased by her husband David, she is survived and greatly missed by her children Gordon, Harold, John, David, and Dian. Joyce was born on June 8, 1941 to Harold and Gwen Talbot and was a sister to Gwen, Marion, Doris, Francis, Jeannie, Gail and Frankie, and a loving grandmother to James, William, Liam, Xander, Brandon, Sarah, and Nicole.
Joyce was sweet-natured. She enjoyed simple things--puttering about in the garden and sitting in the backyard enjoying the sun, weather, and visits from little animals; chats with her family, with neighbours and strangers, casual meetings and shared stories; decorating for holidays, acquiring little objects for display, scratching her tickets, going on her routine trips to her favourite stores.
She had an openness that meant she took the lives of even acquaintances seriously and had an amazing memory for the small details mentioned to her. She was compassionate.
She remembered. And she always made an effort to communicate this love and attention--never criticizing, always willing to see the good in others.
Joyce's laughter was a blessing--it was infectious and often took you by surprise, revealing her mischievous side. She was a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a sister, but also a best friend to many, especially her children.
Joyce touched the lives of so many children over the years as a caregiver, many of whom grew up from infancy under her care and support.
For all of her life, Joyce worked hard.
She gave and shared everything she had and got on with things. She was and is a beautiful soul.
Thanks to those at Ajax-Pickering Hospital who were kind and efficient during their brief time with Joyce.
A celebration of her life is planned.
