June Cameron

June Elaine Cameron (Newberg), 94, Hibbing, died November 18,
2020 at Alternative Senior Living Center in Hibbing. June was born in
Lincoln, Nebraska on March 27, 1926. She was the oldest child and the only
daughter of Richard and Mary (Cobb) Newberg.
As a young child her family moved back to Minnesota to the Forbes/Mt.
Iron area. June graduated from Mt. Iron High School in 1944 and worked in
the Virginia area until meeting the love of her life Fay Cameron. They were
married on July 31, 1954 and immediately started their family of four. They
lived in various towns across the Iron Range until settling in Hibbing in
1966. In 1969 June went to work at the First National Bank (US Bank) in
Hibbing and worked first as a teller and then a bookkeeper. She retired in
1983.
June was an active member of the Blessed Sacrament Church in Hibbing
and was very dedicated to her faith. After her retirement, June attended daily
mass along with Fay, and regularly distributed communion to homebound
parishioners. June loved to walk, ride her bike, and knit. Though, her
favorite role was as a loyal Daughter, Mother and Grandma. “Grandma
June” loved all children, most specially her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

She loved her family fiercely. She was calm, patient, kind, and
always had a smile and hug for everyone!
June is survived by her children: Mary (James) Vaccari of Bonita
Springs FL, Richard (Paula) Cameron of Forest Lake MN, and William
(Celia) Cameron of Hibbing MN; her 9 grandchildren: Patrick (Amelia)
