June M. Hughes

Hadley

It is with extreme sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of June Marie (Parkin) Hughes, 78, of Hadley on December 7, 2022, after a long illness, surrounded by her family.

Born on January 23, 1944 in Newburgh, NY, she was the daughter of the late William and Frances (Sledzianowski) Parkin.

June met the love of her life, Thomas Hughes, on a blind date on December 20, 1962.  They were married two months later on February 20, 1963.  June passed just 13 days shy of their 60th anniversary of meeting.  Their love for each other was evident every day of those 60 years.  They went on to have four daughters whom they proudly raised on the Upper Hughes Farm.  Most of June’s life was spent working in the healthcare field.

June enjoyed camping, family gatherings, car rides with Tom, bluegrass music and baking Christmas cookies.

Besides her parents, June was predeceased by her three infant brothers, her grandparents, Neil Hayden and Alice Parkin; sisters in law, Kim Parkin and Sandra Hughes; brothers-in-law, Robert Hudson, Carl Koffman and John Hughes; her father-in-law and mother-in-law, William and Doris Hughes; and her nephews, John and Kent Hughes.
