Many at UFV will be saddened to hear of the passing of June Pitcher, a longtime employee in Educational Technology Services on the Chilliwack campus.
She passed away peacefully on May 1, 2016 after a lengthy struggle with cancer. She had been with UFV since 1994, and became a permanent employee in 1998.
Her daughter Sunshine invites friends to attend a celebration of life on June 25, two days before June’s 65th birthday, at 1 pm at her home in Yarrow (4655 Simmons Road).
The following is an excerpt from the official obituary:
Mum was an avid gardener and created beauty on her acreage of 28 years in Yarrow, BC. She had a natural green-thumb and a love of nature. She was an employee at UFV for 22 years and loved that she could help students, faculty and staff.
She will be sadly missed by her daughter Sunshine (Chris), grandchildren Dustin (Lisa) and Dawn (Lester Davis), and new great grandson Makiah. She was loved by many and will never be forgotten by her brother Gary Pitcher, and step siblings Brian, Lynn and Gary M and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
Many thanks to Mum’s wonderful friends, especially Emma Pink. Thank you to Dr. Bull and all the nurses and staff at Cascade Hospice.
