Andy CloseJune E. Stangler, 95, of Russell, Pa., passed away April 17, 2021, at the Rouse Home.
June was born August 14, 1925, in Kane, PA., to the late Niels and Helga Petersen Gregersen. She was a graduate of Kane High School and graduated from the Edward Meyer School of Nursing in Buffalo as a Registered Nurse. She married her late husband Frank A.

She was an energetic homemaker, and especially enjoyed her family as a mother and hands-on grandmother. June enjoyed a good joke and loved to laugh. She had many varied interests and her hobbies over the years included bowling, bridge, and golfing (especially following Greg Norman). June enjoyed sports including NASCAR and was an avid Ohio State supporter. She developed her Danish family genealogy by keeping in touch with relatives both in the states and in Denmark. Patriotic holidays were her favorites. She loved a parade or a marching band.
