Mahood, Marilyn June
April 23rd, 2021
The family of Marilyn June Mahood is sad to announce her sudden and unexpected passing on Friday, April 23, 2021. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, June was a force to be reckoned with. A woman of high principles and great faith, June had an unwavering sense of right and wrong, which she channeled into a lifelong commitment to community service. June graduated from Hamilton General Hospital as a Registered Nurse in 1955 and worked as a private nurse, floor intensive care nurse and as an office nurse throughout her long career. She ran the Neurological Sciences Library at University Hospital for 35 years as a volunteer. June was a member of the London Psychiatric Advisory Board and the University Hospital Board. She set up a volunteer program in Palliative Care at Parkwood Institute and volunteered at the Ark Aid Mission, the Breakfast Program at Woodlynn School and as gift coordinator for the Christmas Sharing Program. June was also Executive Director of the Canadian Recreational Canoeing, where her organizational skills over shone the fact she had never been in a canoe. In her “spare time”, she loved to golf and was a founding member of the Hickory Chicks at Hickory Ridge Golf and Country Club, after a lengthy membership at Sunningdale Golf Club. As proud as she was of these accomplishments, her greatest joy was her family. June is survived by her loving husband Ken, of 65 years; her four children: Sherree (Lynn), Brad (Lucy), Jim (Elizabeth) and Ted (Leslie); ten grandchildren: Sean (Christine), Kyle (Alyssa), Jeremy (Brittany), Mathew (Jessica), Cody (Alex), Mitchell, Liam, Katie, Nick (Megan), Jonathan, and four great-grandchildren, with another one on the way. Due to Covid-19 protocols, a memorial service will be held at a later date. There will be a private family visitation, with prayers, at Westview Funeral Chapel, 709 Wonderland Road North, London, which the family welcomes friends to view via livestream.

Book of Condolences
Jackie FarquharDear Family of June: I was completely shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the sudden death of dear June. I had spoken with her on April
15th to thank her for the birthday card she so kindly and thoughtfully sent each year. We had a good chat and she sounded just as strong and normal
as ever. She was in the process of “making an early supper for Ken”.
June was a pillar of strength to the Committee that was struck at University Hospital to organize Volunteer Services. I was fortunate enough to get the job of Director that department and June was a strong support to me as we built the department and for 30 years thereafter.
June was an integral part of Neurological Sciences because she ran their
excellent Library and was a favourite of all the staff on the 7th floor of U.H.
June’s presence will be sorely missed by you, her precious family and
the rest of the community in which she was so involved.
With my deep sympathy. Jackie Farquhar.
Joe & Pat GlavinSheree, Lynn, Sean, Christine, Kyle, Alyssa, Aidan, Ryan, Brad, Lucy, Jim, Elizabeth,
Our heart aches to hear this unexpected news of June. We are stunned to hear this sad news. Heartfelt thoughts go out to you.
We are going to miss her too.
