June L.

Ross

June Louise Ross, a true spitfire with an adventurous spirit, lived each day with energy, joy, and grace. She loved being on the go, traveling to new places, and making the most of every day. She found happiness in life’s simple pleasures, from enjoying a scoop of her favorite ice cream to admiring butterflies, birds, and the beauty of nature. She was also a faithful member of her church.

Born June 7, 1936, in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, June was the daughter of Minor Lee Poff and Isabel Mildred Bryson. She grew up in Chester County and later lived in Parkesburg. On August 25, 1956, she married John Robert Ross, who preceded her in death.

June was also preceded in death by three sisters, Judy, Lois, and Shirley Ross and her brother, Robert Ross. Her greatest pride and joy was her family. She is survived by her children, Karen J. Calhoun (William) of League City, Texas; Linda L. Trago (George) of Gap; Donna M. Ross; and John Blanc Ross (Jeffery Deacon) of Coatesville and one sister, Gale McLaughlin of Coatesville.

June devoted many years to her work and community. She worked in food service at Newberry’s and the Gizmo Restaurant on Third Avenue in Coatesville, managed the cafeteria at the Chester County Child Development Center, and later worked in the bookkeeping department at Jefferson Bank. As an active mother, she was involved activities such as a Girl Scout leader, she led her troop on a 20-mile hike through Gettysburg, an experience she especially enjoyed. June enjoyed working with the youth groups and vacation Bible schools for many years at the Coatesville Bible Fellowship.

June leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and treasured memories. She will be deeply missed, and her spirited presence will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
