It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of June Rose DeClerck-Gaudreau (née Duff), in her 90th year, on June 18, 2025. Born in Walford, June was a beloved mother, grandma, Gram Grams and great-grandma. She is predeceased by her first husband Paul DeClerck and survived by her husband Jean Marie Gaudreau.

A dedicated educator, June taught at Spanish Public School from 1975 to 2001. Beyond teaching, she worked at Vance’s Camp, made candy and wedding cakes, and later became a bookkeeper. June was a nurturing spirit with a deep love for her family, flowers—especially roses—and her faith.
