SOUTH PARIS — June A. (Edgerly) Wing, 81, a long-time resident of Market Square Health Care Center, went into the loving arms of her Lord on Tuesday, April 26, 2011. She was born on April 23, 1930 in Bath, the daughter of Merton and Laura (Poirier) Edgerly. She was a homemaker most of her life. At one time she ran the old Red’s Restaurant in Mechanic Falls and ran her own bakery at her home in Norway.

She was a member of the Poland Fire Auxiliary, Mechanic Falls Fire Auxiliary, the American Legion Auxiliary #72, So. Paris and Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary #9787 So. Paris where she served as president and secretary for many years. She also was an avid volunteer at the Maine Veterans Home in So. Paris until her illness.

Her favorite pastime was cooking; she could make a mean lemon meringue pie. She loved having all her family together for the holidays where she did all of the cooking. Any reason to her was a good reason to cook. She also enjoyed reading, knitting, gardening. She especially loved camping out at the bluegrass festivals throughout Maine. She also loved animals and adopted many cats and dogs over the years. She was greatly loved by her family and will be greatly missed.

Mrs. Wing is survived by daughter, Donna and husband Howard Crockett of Bethel; sons, Lester and wife Bethany of Oxford and Jeffery of Madison; five grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; two great-great- granddaughters and a great-great-grandbaby to enter into this world in August; a sister, Jean of Lewiston and many nieces and nephews. She loved and cared for her family always. She is predeceased by her parents; husband, Keith and a sister, Joan McElravy.

A funeral service was held on Saturday, April 30 at Oxford Hills and Weston Funeral Services, 1037 Main St. Rte 26, Oxford. At Mrs. Wing's request, there will be no interment. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to the Jackson Laboratory Cancer Research Center, Development Office, P.O. Box 254, Bar Harbor, ME 04609.
