June B. Colianna Obituary (1926 - 2012)

June Colianna, “June Bug”, passed away February 17, 2012 in Sandy, Utah. June was a beautiful, vivacious lady, adored by all those she came in contact with. She was an example of love and kindness, who always cared for others, not only in her family, but her friends and loved ones as well. She befriended those around her by her cheery personality, and sweet spirit. She also had a wonderful sense of humor and could put a smile on everyone’s face. Junie enjoyed playing and watching golf, she was an avid follower of the Utah Jazz, and loved to be outside in her garden. She spent her days painting, cooking, and hosting parties; she was an amazing homemaker. But most of all she loved spending time with her family.
