We Remember
HALTER, Elizabeth “June”
—
1957 – 2024
On February 29, 2024, Elizabeth “June” Halter was passed through the hands of God to be with her beloved late sister.
Born in 1957 in Kindersley, Saskatchewan, she grew into a strong adult at an early age. Growing up in a very poor, hard-working family, her first bed was a dresser drawer. From that, she developed a work ethic in her that we can only wish upon future generations. This strength carried her through life to the very end, pushing the limits of what most people could endure. She is most well known for being a devoted and caring mother, always putting her children (Jesse, Mitchell, and Renae) before herself. June valued and guarded her close friends, and if you were lucky enough, you would know this is true for today and beyond.
June’s caring and empathetic attitude would always make you feel at home when you are with her. She brought her appreciation of life to everyone she touched, which was countless people over her 40-year nursing career. June loved to experience anything and everything firsthand – travel, live music, baseball, and curling, were some of her favourites. Living in many places around the globe throughout her life, there was never a shortage of stories to look back on. She always saw value in enriching experiences rather than “things”, something we can all learn from her.
Memories of her laughter, kindness, selflessness, and courage will be cherished forever.
June will be returned to rest next to her sister whom she dearly missed, in Dodsland Saskatchewan. As her passing fell on the 29th, they will both be 16 years old.
In lieu of flowers, or any condolence gifts – we ask for you to reach out to a family member or loved one for a chat or coffee.

My good friend, taken too soon. Much love to June’s family
June was a beloved cousin of my husband. We always enjoyed our visits. June’s love of music, contagious laugh, and listening heart will be forever remembered fondly.
So sorry for your loss, remember that smile and those red curls well..
Our deepest sympathy to all the Halter family and to June’s children.
I would like to extend my condolences to the families. Losing their wife, mother, and sister. I grew up in Dodsland and knew her and her family. she is with her sister and parents now. God’s blessings to all. Connie
I went to school with June (as a Kosolofski), & remember her happy & kind personality really well. I remember, too, how devastated she was when her sister passed away. I lost touch with June as we both left home & built new lives as wives & moms but I will always remember her with real fondness. My sympathy to all June’s family & friends.
June & the Halter family were close family friends when I was growing up. June was so much fun and loved to tease. Our deepest sympathy to all the Halter family and to June’s children.
So sorry to hear of June’s passing. I knew her as a respected, highly qualified, and passionate Community Care Nurse in Kelowna. I frequently had 3rd year UBCO nursing students from my practicum seminars working with June for a six week period. Students loved working with her. She stands out in my memory as being professional with patients and with students. Over tea and student evaluations, we discovered she knew my sister Carol and we both went to school in Plenty.
I want to send warm condolences to June’s family. She was a stellar nurse, acclaimed nurse educator, and a genuinely kind and caring individual.

Today’s news was a real gut punch to me. June and I were good friends all through school and kept in touch back and forth over the years since. She was a person who always had my back growing up. I offer my condolences to all her children and to her extended family. She will definitely not be forgotten. RIP June Your struggles are over and you are reunited with Carol.
Sincere Condolences to all your family on the passing of June. I remember her for being smiling and joyful. with her curly red hair. My heart goes out to you. Linda Kinart
I am so sorry to hear this news. June and I used to joke that we met curling and not as nurses. I appreciated June’s quiet and understated demeanor that held a wealth of compassion and kindness, with just the right touch of humor. She will be missed. Condolences to Renae, Jesse and Mitch.
Special memories with you from Mexico. You will be missed. Much love to
family……….. Rest in peace, cousin June
Had many fond memories of our time in nursing training together and after. Such a great person who will be so missed. Our condolences to the family❤️
I will miss you my friend……………………………………
Though we need to weep your loss,
You dwell in that safe place in our hearts,
Where no storm or night or pain can reach you
Let us not look for you only in memory,
Where we would grow lonely without you.
You would want us to find you in presence,
Beside us when beauty brightens,
When kindness glows
And music echoes eternal tones.

I am truely sorry to hear of June’s passing. We have know each other through work since the the mid 90’s when I worked in ICU and June worked on 2 East. We then shared time working PRT and then shared an office when we both worked Home Care. Sadly we lost touch the last few years. I know her family was so very important to her . My condolences to you all.
My dear cousin and friend. I think of you everyday. Miss you. Condolences to Jesse, Renae, and Mitchell.
