June Hewitt Gruettner passed away at age 91 on May 20th, 2024. She peacefully passed surrounded by family at her home in Roy, Utah after a courageous battle with a recently diagnosed brain tumor. June was a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and dedicated her daily life to living its principles. A beloved wife, mother and grandmother, her departure leaves a vacancy impossible to fill.
