I miss you everyday Meme. You were my best friend and I could come to you for ANYTHING!! There are days when I want to call you and talk to you about my day, then I realize I can’t. Even though I know you can’t hear me, I talk to you everyday. It’s not the same without you here, you were the glue that held the Russell family together. I have so many memories, that will always be a part of me, but I wish everyday that we could make more. You are missed and were loved by so many people!! I know you’re in a better place, and we will see each other again someday, and I know it’ll get better, but some days it’s so hard knowing you’re gone. Poppop and I talk all the time, and we try to stay strong and be happy. He still beats me in cards every time we play! I love and miss you meme!

June, we think of you every single day down here in Texas. You are woven into our lives so deeply that we can predict your expression or what you would say in so many situations. We miss your humor and warm heart and zest for life.

We think of you especially when we make your delicious recipes that you prepared with love. Spaghetti, golumpki, sausage grinders, peanut butter balls, pineapple cake...they bring your presence and great memories right back. (Of course, you are part of every Cribbage game we play.)

I am so grateful to have joined your family and gained you for a mother-in-law, and for my girls to have had such a wonderful, fun, loving MeMe. We miss you and wish you were here!

All my love,
Angela

Jim and family...I am so sorry for the hearing of June"s passing. I just learned of it on the internet. I grew up with her and her family. I am still so upset and crying over the news. We go way back. I just wish we kept in touch more after we all got married and went our separate ways. We were so close. She was an angel from the day we met. My heart is broken but I'm sure not as much as yours. I will keep you and your family in my prayers every night
.....as I talk to June from my heart. Never forget the good times at the stables...Love, Joann

I remember meeting June at a NYE party at Scott & Angela’s. She was lovely & I remember the girls being so happy to have her there. It’s so heartwarming to read all the stories & see the pictures everyone has shared. Sending lots of love & prayers to you all. It’s hard for those left behind, but I know she’s watching over all of you and she’s at peace now.

I have so many memories of Auntie June that I will remember forever. She was the best Auntie to all of us kids. She treated everyone the same with so much care and love. She was always so excited to see us when she came to Georgia. She gave the best hugs! I'll always remember all the laughing and talking we did, most of the time with Auntie Fay too. She always wanted everyone to be comfortable and happy. She was constantly cleaning up and helping my mom cook. From the pool to the cookouts, card games, going to play bingo, it was always so fun. I loved
watching her do her makeup and her hair at my mom's table. She always looked nice and smelled good! Alexis and Austin adored her just as much. They would laugh and laugh with her and loved listening to all her stories. They loved the way she talked, often asking her to repeat certain words so they could laugh even more! We love you Auntie June and will forever miss you until we see you again ❤

June is my ‘grandma Russell’. She was always so kind and caring to my brother and I and always treated us as her grand sons not her step grandsons. Her hugs were the best. I remember celebrating many Christmas’s at her home in agawam in the winters and swimming in the pool in the summers. When she would come to our house I remember my brother and her always having long talks on the front porch. My brother would always say how cool she was. She was the coolest, kindest, most loving person and grandmother. She will be forever missed and in my heart and thoughts. One thing I know for sure is that her and Robert are back to having those long talks, just thinking of that brings a smile to my face as big as her welcoming smile always was.
             With love and deep condolences,

My longtime friend of 60+years is now at peace and deeply missed. We had many great memories over the years from playing in puddles, making mud pies, going horseback riding and meeting our future husbands thanks to Deveno Stables. I remember my first cucumber sandwich at her house on Ludger Avenue, wierd suggestion, but tasted delicious. We lived in different towns after we both married but stayed in contact with our yearly Christmas cards. Life gets busy with kids and work but friends are forever and never forgotten. We both love you and miss you. Love Lil & Mike xx

I only met her one time, but was a pleasure; she was so sweet and transmitted peace and good energy and I am glad that I got to met June before she went to the another side. I am sure she is resting in peace without pain, and she is very comfortable and happy now. Love, Alyne

June was never known to me as anything more than Meme Russell. I may not have been related to her by blood, but whenever I was in her company she never made me feel like anything less than family.
Many highlights of my childhood were with my cousin, Caitlyn at Meme and Papa Russell's house in Agawam where we played games and looked at the ladybugs. She told the best jokes, gave the best hugs and had the loudest laugh in the room. Heaven has truly gained a treasure. Meme Russell will be dearly missed and never forgotten.
Sending prayers to Papa Russell, and the rest of the Russell family in this difficult time.
With love and sincerest condolences, Elizabeth

Auntie June, I wanted to tell you once again how I admire your strength over the years and to thank you for showing us that no matter what you go through in life you can still be happy and make the most of the days you’ve been given.
I’ll always remember you laughing, smiling and being so excited to us kids. (I don’t know why because we were all brats! )
Your house is where so many reunions were held, tag sales, many days we spent playing in the woods behind the house and the pool where you and Uncle Mel swore you wouldn’t put us under but you did everytime!! My memories of you will always be happy ones Auntie June. You will be missed by everyone who knew you. 
And I will never forget that infamous “letter” I wrote way back when. I can still remember sitting there discussing it with you!!! 
I love you very much. I’m sure you are dancing in heaven with your brand new body!! No more hurting Auntie June. It’s now your time to be free. ♥️♥️

Uncle Jimmy, Jim, Scott, Tim and families.

Where do I even begin? There is nothing I could say, that hasn't been said, I have been thinking of you all and praying that Auntie June is at peace. I have so many memories of her and all of you, and it is impossible to choose which is my favorite.  I will forever cherish having had her in my life and that she always welcomed me with a hug and kiss, and a huge smile. She loved unconditionally and greatly. She will be missed, but never forgotten.  I love you all.

To put a memory to you is a tough one. All of my childhood memories include you. You were such a huge part of my everyday life. My second mom, second home. Before and after school, trips to the beach, BBQ's every weekend, swimming, playing card games at the table. The smell of fresh baked bread or anything you were making. All your crafts and baking.. Giving me a Shirley Temple perm when I was like 7. Watching you do your hair and make up with your big mirror and curling iron at the table. You blaring your country music - Dolly Parton. Your inventive ways to punish us when we got on your last nerve... like holding hands at the end of the driveway with whoever we were arguing with. 
But, when I think of you, I think of walking into your kitchen, smelling coffee and being greeted by your awesome smile and welcoming face.
To put feelings into words of what your life was to me just can't be done. And as the tears flow down my face as I write this, the only comfort is knowing you are no longer in pain, no longer suffering. You wil never be forgotten and always be missed. Love you Auntie June. Til we one day meet again.

June was my niece's beloved Meme. She would come down to Texas and treat us like family. One day last year I came upon her in the guest house at Angie and Scott's. She had some music on and was working on something at the kitchen table. It was so peaceful... just like my Grandma. Welcoming and cozy and all those wonderful qualities that make for very special memories. She will be much missed. She was very sweet to all of us since the first time we met 17 years ago. Lots of love and prayers for the family.

To my sweet sister. I will always cherish the good times we had and the laughter we shared.I will miss our daily talks every morning whether we were gonna see each other that day.Sometimes we would talk for a couple of hours and not realize it .Jim would go somewhere and we would laugh cause we were both still in our robes and still on the phone when he got home. Also when I was having bad days after Eddie passed I could call you and you would always listen no matter what time it was .You were my rock. I will miss and love you forever .

June was a special lady, great sister-in-law, best friend to Peggy and myself. She was a kind giving lady with a great smile always glad to see us when we stopped in for coffee. Rarely did you play a game of cards and not get a cup of coffee with a homemade goodie to go with it. She'll be missed forever.

From John and Linda Walch, Scott's in-laws:

June will be missed by our family in Texas. What a great lady!

She brought joy, love, and laughter to all as she shared her gifts of cooking, baking, storytelling, card playing, and also creative role-playing with her granddaughters. We talked on the phone one day this summer about enjoying the granddaughters even though we couldn't be with them. She shared how she had ordered food over the phone from Johanna's imaginary restaurant that morning and that it totaled $12. The next week I found out she had sent Johanna the $12 in the mail. What a great grandma!!

We were able to share many happy times with Scott and Angela, Clara, Lydia, and Johanna because she and Jim made the trips to Texas even though she was often experiencing pain and discomfort at the time. June, thank you for sharing your time with us and for the love you have shown our family. We admire your strength and your true giving spirit. We will miss you and will cherish the memories of those great times. May God bless you.

All our love,
John and Linda Walch

My Dearest Auntie June,

Please say hello to my Momma and Gage. I’m sure they’re there welcoming you with love.

Thank you for making me feel special and loved. Being a teen is hard and you made it easier for me. You took me to get my ears pierced! A girl never forgets that.

I wished I wasn’t across the country, wish I’d spent more time. I love you and miss you Auntie June.

From Dale Miller, dear friend and neighbor:

Friend: a person whom you like and trust; who likes and trust you in return.

June was so much more than that to me. We were friends from the first day we met, and we never looked back. Here we are some forty odd years later, and friend doesn’t fit anymore. We are so much more than just friends.

It’s difficult to find the right words to share with you on how much I cared about June. There is this huge hole in my heart, and all the right words seem to be tied to June’s heart from mine. The words are missing at the moment, but I know they’ll return with all the fond memories I have of her. Only time is needed.

We didn’t always agree on everything, but that never interfered with our respect for each other and/or our friendship. June was my coffee mate. She’d call, or I would ask if the coffee water was hot. It always was. We’d start talking and soon realize it was suppertime. She would run home and start cooking. She would come back the next day, and we’d start right where we left off. I’m sure going to miss our coffee breaks.

June and Jim are the comfortable people. No matter what was happening, when you entered their home you always felt comfortable, welcomed, relaxed and loved. Think of slipping into your most loved pair of slippers and going ah! That’s how it always felt upon entering and leaving their home.

June was a worrier! She worried about everything and everybody before herself. She would spend hours fixing her hair and makeup. She worried if she was a good wife, mom, friend, neighbor and grandma. If friends or family were coming to dinner, she worried if she had cooked enough food. “Did it taste okay?” she would ask. Of course, it always did; she cooked it, didn’t she?
She worried about the house being clean. I wonder how many of us washed our windows twice a year. How many of us cleaned our ceilings with a damn toothbrush, or scrubbed a floor with a toothbrush.

Throughout the years, June persevered through so many physical hardships. Very seldom, if ever, did you hear her say she couldn’t do something. She always found the strength to carry on, putting me to shame for sure. If June was in pain, I listened carefully because she seldom gave in to pain, and I knew it meant she was in trouble always. We know now that she is not in pain, and she would want us to carry on as she has always doneand, we will.

We extend our deepest sympathy to the entire Russell family, siblings and friends. May you always smile when you think of a very dear friend because that is exactly what she would want you to do. 

Love, Dale

From Charlie Miller, dear friend and neighbor:

June had many skills that we will all miss. She was a well-qualified housekeeper and cook. She had a wealth of knowledge of cleaning aids to maintain a spotless home. Whenever we had a question concerning what to use to clean something, June always had a suggestion. When we tried it, it always worked well and completed the job quickly with little labor. As for household cooking, she was an expert. Whenever, we needed helpful advice with a cooking problem, June’s suggestions were applied and worked really well. 
With love, Charlie

I’m so shocked by this news. June and I met when we were about 5years old. I lived on Ludger Ave about six houses away. We remained very close until high school age. She went off to Chicopee Comp and I went off to Holy Name High School. We stayed in touch off and on over the years. We reconnected in November 2019 and the Covid hit so no more travel. I was in and out of Massachusetts often after I moved to Oregon.

My prayers go out to her husband Jim, her sons and all of her family.

Meme,

I can’t believe you’re gone! It came as a shock to all of us! I am so grateful that I was able to have such a strong bond with the best grandma in the world. You were always there for me whenever I needed you. You were one of my best friends. We have so many memories together that I will NEVER EVER forget! Like the family picnics, playing rummy all day, and tag sailing together. I always loved coming over and spending the night or the weekend at your house. Thank you for all the fun times at your house

I am sad that you are gone, but I am beyond happy that you are out of pain and no longer suffering! Don’t worry, I will look after Poppop for you!

Rest In Peace meme, and I’ll see you again someday! I love you and miss you soooo much!

In 1997, I gained the most wonderful Mother-in-law when she welcomed me and my two sons into her family. We cooked together, we baked together, we shared recipes. We cried together and we laughed together. We played cribbage together. We vacationed together. We loved together. She was the best grandmother to our three children anyone could ask God for. On December 25th, I lost my amazing mother-in-law. I love and miss you June. We will be together again one day.

My June, my love, my life, we spent over fifty years together and what I wouldn’t give to do It all again. You’ve been gone three days and already I miss you beyond belief. I have lost my best friend, and my  direction of life. I will try to find it again, but I fear that will be an impossible task. 

The memories you left me with go from before our wedding day to looking across at the empty seat in the car. I remember the day we met vividly. You were riding your horse and I was a trail guide. Your horse began to run away and I was able to get him under control for you. You were fourteen and I was sixteen. Your father didn’t call me your boyfriend (he called me your S@*t Kicker), and I proudly wore that title. From there we went to senior prom and our car rolled over on the turnpike on our way to pick you up. Even with the delay, we made to the prom just a few minutes late. We dated two more years, I proposed and you said yes, the happiest day of my life. The time flew by and our boys were born, waiting 24 hours for the first, 12 hours for the second, and you telling me not to stop for any red lights for the third. You let me buy a house in Agawam even though we were moving far away from your mother. You mildly complained for about 10 years and adapted to our new way of life in the country. Twenty-five years of marriage pass and your sons put on a beautiful party. I have to say that there were some pretty tough times through the years. You endured several back surgeries, shoulder replacements, hip replacements and a knee replacement. Through all of that I still could not get you to rest. You would worry more about other people's aches and pain more than your own. You always put yourself second after the pain of others. Everyone commented about your caring attitude, how you were always there for them. Now that fifty years have passed, you were still in pain. I believe God has seen your pain and took you on Christmas Day to show the world your selfless and endless love.

Thank you for the life you gave to me. We will be together again someday.

With all my love.

Jim

15 years ago we were blessed to meet our neighbors whom became family to us. June was always an amazingly positive, thoughtful, and funny person. We were so blessed to have been fortunate enough to have her in our lives. When we see a butterfly it will remind us that her spirit is always with Jim, the boys, her beautiful grandchildren, and all of us who loved her so dearly. We will always make sure Jim is taken care of with good food as you did. ❤
Forever in our hearts we extend our deepest sympathy to The Russell family, her siblings, and her extended family. With love The Dyer family. Mark, Lori & the boys.

I will miss our beach trips every May for the past 30 years, and all of our great times together! My ❤️ Is so broken, but I know you are in a better place! Until we meet again, I know you will be watching over us! I love you so much!❤️❤️❤️

Auntie June,

I have never felt true heart-break until the day you left us. Darkness shadows my world because you were the light of mine, and so many others lives. No matter the pain you bared, you always worried and cared about everyone. You were a giver. You loved to bake, decorate cakes, decorate for the kids, garden, swim, laugh and share your deep emotions. You were born on the miracle day - leap day, and passed on Christmas. No other day seems honorable enough for an amazing, pure, and genuine soul to meet God. I am honored to be your God daughter, and honored to have had such an incredible bond with a rare soul. I know on the morning of your passing, you came to me in my dream, and told me you feel better now. I know you knew I needed this to be able to move forward with my life and have hope to see you again. You took the time to do this, to check on me, like you always did throughout my life. You have been more than a blessing for me, and our family. I have always loved our family gatherings because you were the glue that held us together and made events magical. All I wanted was to spend Christmas with you and Unk this year, but I know God had bigger and better plans for you to be one of his angels on Christmas day. You are one of the most amazing beings I will ever know, and I know I will see you again. I love you so much Auntie June, and I will always cherish our memories.

Meme was the best person. Forever she has been there for everyone and that made her special. Meme brought joy and happiness to anyone she met. When she came to Texas me and my sisters would race to the guest house and be greeted by meme's smiling face and she would give us what we called after school snacks which were candy and she would ask us about our day at school as we ate. I would give anything to have her back bit I know she is in heaven with her family. And I owe half to her for making me who I am now . Lydia age 8

My dad said it is a honor to pass on Christmas and I agree. My dad and I belive that this is a honor saved for the best of people and no one deserved that more than meme. I think that meme's favorite day was Christmas and now I know that the best kindest people pass on the day that means the most. By Lydia

I miss you everyday Meme. You were my best friend and I could come to you for ANYTHING!! There are days when I want to call you and talk to you about my day, then I realize I can’t. Even though I know you can’t hear me, I talk to you everyday. It’s not the same without you here, you were the glue that held the Russell family together. I have so many memories, that will always be a part of me, but I wish everyday that we could make more. You are missed and were loved by so many people!! I know you’re in a better place, and we will see each other again someday, and I know it’ll get better, but some days it’s so hard knowing you’re gone. Poppop and I talk all the time, and we try to stay strong and be happy. He still beats me in cards every time we play! I love and miss you meme!

June, we think of you every single day down here in Texas. You are woven into our lives so deeply that we can predict your expression or what you would say in so many situations. We miss your humor and warm heart and zest for life.

We think of you especially when we make your delicious recipes that you prepared with love. Spaghetti, golumpki, sausage grinders, peanut butter balls, pineapple cake...they bring your presence and great memories right back. (Of course, you are part of every Cribbage game we play.)

I am so grateful to have joined your family and gained you for a mother-in-law, and for my girls to have had such a wonderful, fun, loving MeMe. We miss you and wish you were here!

All my love,

June's Obituary

January 4, 2021
June (Lingley) Russell, 68, of Feeding Hills passed away at home on December 25, 2020. June was born in Holyoke on February 29, 1952 to the late Raymond and Helen (Twarog) Lingley. She graduated from Chicopee Comp. High School in 1970 and retired from her position as the kitchen manager for Holyoke Catholic High School in 2008.

June was the glue of her family - a devoted wife, a loving mother and grandmother, a dear sister, and a loyal friend. June loved kids and kids loved her - the unhappiest child would smile when June held him in her arms. June was a compassionate person who gave love unconditionally and always put the needs of others above her own. She had a gift for making people feel loved, cared for, and supported. She had an adventurous and fun-loving spirit, and made others laugh with her great sense of humor. She was a talented cook, baker and cake decorator, and a gracious hostess who made everyone feel like part of her family.

Hi June

December 24, 2023
 It’s just about Christmas and I’m at Scott’s. The girls are excited and really want to open their gifts. I know they will like what we gave them this year. Ainsley and Alyssa already have their’s and Cait will be opening hers tomorrow.
 Angela, Cynthia, and Jenn are doing well except for Angela’s broken/sprained foot.
 The boys are also okay we’re all making through the Holiday’s in our own ways. 
 I am missing you but I know you are without pain so that makes things a little  easier. I was at Jimmy’s for Thanksgiving we had a nice dinner and we’re thankful for many things.
 Tim and Jenn are doing pretty good as well. Alyssa is going to Worcester State. She has finished her first semester. Ainsley is playing basketball almost every day and is becoming a very good player.
 Cait is living in North Carolina with Dereck and Alyne who are expecting their first baby (another girl). On to Texas . Everyone is fine, the girl’s are growing and seem to be getting along well.
 I can’t get over how smart all six of them are.

Love and miss you every day

 Well year two has passed and I still occasionally wait for you to walk through the door but I know that won't happen. The good news is my memories of you are still with me and they help me make it through the days. I've been going to Jimmy, Scott and Tim's and visiting all but I can honestly say it is not the same without you. I know they miss you greatly and wish you were still here. I know everyone misses you as you can tell by some of the posts on this memorial site. You would be very proud of all your granddaughters they are all doing well.
 Caitlyn has a new job and nice boyfriend, she is currently in Idaho and meeting his family.
 Allyssa is looking at schools and deciding where she might want to go. Her and Ainsley are both still playing basketball and have become very good players.
 Clara has learned how to play cribbage and is getting pretty good at it. (when she is not on her iphone) She is growing very quickly and becoming a beautiful young lady.
 Lydia (the fashionista) I believe will be designing her own line of clothes someday. She  has been baking up a storm. Cookie, brownies, cakes, and anything else including cheesecake she will take on the challenge.
 I can't forget Johanna. She is a very smart, polite, and caring individual which I believe you had a lot to do with. She likes to read and is very competitive when it comes to playing games of any kind.
 I hope this update will find you and let you know that we are all okay and miss you greatly. My heart is still broken but everyone is helping me back.

Love and miss you Jim.

I miss you every day, you were the best mother in law . Always so careful not to step on any toes. Such good advice now that I’m in the same situation. Jim and I always ask you for recipes and when we make them we know how you’re watching us and laughing. Caitlyn talks daily of her memories with you. What an awesome relationship you two shared!  And maybe soon we will be able to use you as an example as the perfect grandparent. We miss and loved you dearly June/Mo
