Avon June Fairchild

OGDEN - June Fairchild, 80, died Sunday, September 27, 2009 at her home following a short illness.

She was born June 23, 1929 in Ogden, Utah to Lester and Nellie Felt. She grew up in Huntsville, Utah where she attended school graduating from Weber High.

On September 9, 1948, June married Omer Fairchild and settled in Ogden. The family later moved to Roy, Utah; then Twin Falls, Idaho before returning to Ogden where she remained for the rest of her life.

June was a fulltime homemaker who passed on to her children many talents such as sewing and cooking, along with sharing her love of reading, puzzles, cats and the importance of a family dinner. She enjoyed camping and fishing until Omer became ill, then became his full time caretaker for over 15 years before his death in 1998. She celebrated her 75th birthday with her first cruise and enjoyed the many high school reunions she attended. She will always be remembered for her quick wit, her love of cats, and her determination.

June is survived by her four children: Cindy (Dennis) Gill, Les (Karen) Fairchild, Vicki Childs, Kathy (Rich) Youngers; her five grandchildren, Krista Phillips, Dennis (Autymn) Gill, Shannon Frederick, Robert Knutson, Stephanie (Todd) Lake; seven great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, and her brother, Wayne.

Special thanks to her VistaCare friends for all their help over these past three years.

Graveside services will be held Thursday, October 1 at 1 p.m. at the Huntsville Cemetery.

Mom, I will miss you.
