Obituary of June Degnan

June Degnan

A reunion occurred in Heaven of the sweetest and most joyful kind. June's spirit moved beyond this earth — released from mortal bind. And oh, what a reunion it was, when the souls of June and Jim combined. June Degnan, nee Elsmore, died peacefully at home on April 22, 2019 after a 33-month battle with breast cancer. She was a heartfelt woman who enjoyed gardening, cooking hosting holiday celebrations for her family. June was a long-time daycare provider in West St. Paul and had the distinguished honor of being recognized as a Dakota County Daycare Provider of the year. One of her greatest joys was caring for children.
