From Jacqui Byrne
Very sad to hear that June has passed away - one of life’s beautiful people. June and another hostess interviewed me (they were on the preliminary panel) little did they know when they put me through to the main board what they were letting BUA in for! RIP you beautiful sweet lady

From Coreen Wilcox
I remember June as a Check Hostess. A lovely lady; rest in peace. My sincere condolences to her family and loved ones.
From George Banks
I was new to British Caledonian in 1973 but June was already a highly regarded check hostess and cabin trainer when I joined. I did a few flights on the 707 when she was on board and she was not only a lovely person but extremely professional. She operated on the 707 Caracas inaugural and was highly regarded by Training. My late colleagues Betty Shelton (catering operations Manager) and Mrs. Katie Wilde (head of catering) always spoke highly of her, and June kindly attended Betty's Funeral with me and my colleagues. In 1973/4 BCAL had a close knit catering team and June was always very highly thought of and I learnt a lot from her as she always set such high standards. RIP June
From Shirley Bell
Such great memories of working alongside June as part of the check/training department, and all the laughs we had together over the many funny incidents that cropped up during all the many courses we held over the years. Lovely lady.
From Carol Anderson (Webb)
My sincere condolences to June’s family on her passing. She was always such a warm and generous member of the crew, as well as being thoroughly professional in her training capacity. Everyone loved to fly with her, and she is sure to hold a special place in the memories of all those who worked alongside her over the years.
From Sally Simmonds: Very sad to hear this. Too young.
From Ma Dolors Vila Casellas: May you RIP ROSE!! So very sad, my sincere condolences to her family and friends.
