    June was always so kind to me. I knew her from St. Anthony’s. She will remain forever in my heart. Condolences to the family.

    When I was a seminarian, Paul and June would often give me a lift to Mount Calvary where together we would participate at weekday Mass. They were a wonderful couple with a sweet family. I can still remember the difficult time when they lost Tom. Many of us were just kids but it was a powerful reminder of mortality. I can still see in my mind’s eye that garden of theirs behind the house on Springdale Road. It was literally a miniature farm! They were truly good neighbors. June always remained a daughter of the Church. I have every confidence that she is now with the Lord. “Please, June, put in a word for me.” God bless you. Rest in Peace. Fr. Joe Jenkins

    June was a spirited, independent, charming woman, who gave of herself to everyone. Beloved cousin to my father, Charles “Bill” Springer, June was a gracious host to my siblings and I whenever we visited her. We will miss her wit and spunk.
    Hugs to the family❤️,

    Dear Sweet June! She will surely be missed. I was raised on Leona Street and never heard a single bad thing about the Kretzing’s! I was around 12 years old when the tragic accident happened to her Son Tommy (9 years old). All the neighbors were so very sad as we knew this would be a terrible time for June. She went to Mount Calvary Church every morning after that, to light a candle in memory of Tommy. After all these years, I think she still did at St. Anthony’s.
    I use to see her at the Andrews AFB commissary with her Daughter Carol. We always hugged and laughed as we were so happy to see each other. I tried to send her a note every week and she did the same to me. Her 100th Birthday celebration was wonderful! I am thankful I was able to be there. May God be with all her Children and Grandchildren. You have received a wonderful heritage from your dear Mother and Grandmother. I will miss my Friend!
