June Marie Lupis, beloved matriarch of Winthrop and former resident of East Boston, passed away peacefully on February 23, 2024, at the age of 90. Born on June 20, 1933, June was a cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend who left an indelible mark on the lives of those who knew her.
June is survived by her loving daughters, Bernadette DeAngelis and Carol Harvey, along with their late husbands Alan and Bob, respectively. Despite the sorrow of losing a brother and sisters before her, June's legacy lives on through the many lives she touched.
Fondly known as the "mayor of Seaview Ave," June was a fixture in her community, a source of warmth, kindness, and wisdom. Her home was a gathering place, filled with laughter, love, and the comforting aroma of homemade meals. She created a sense of family not only with her blood relatives but also with friends who became like family over the years.
June leaves behind a rich tapestry of memories for her numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and friends. Her generous spirit, compassionate heart, and unwavering love will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Family and friends will come together to honor June's remarkable life on Wednesday, February 28th, at the Ruggiero Family Memorial Home, located at 971 Saratoga St., East Boston. The gathering will take place from 9 AM to 11 AM, followed by a procession to St. John the Evangelist Church on Winthrop St., Winthrop, for an 11:30 AM funeral mass celebrating June's life.
June will be laid to rest beside her beloved husband, Angelo, at Winthrop Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests memorial donations to be made to St. Jude Children's Hospital, reflecting June's compassionate and caring nature.
As we say our final goodbyes, let us remember June Marie Lupis for the love she shared, the lives she touched, and the enduring legacy of kindness she leaves behind. May she rest in eternal peace.
