GILFORD ---- June Elaine Chamberlain, 91, of Old Lake Shore Road, passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 26, 2024, at Concord Hospital in Laconia.
June was born on November 30, 1932, in Laconia, the daughter of Henry Nelson Labrecque and Isabelle Angeline (Theberge) DeBlois.
She worked at Cantin Chevrolet from December 1, 1971 until retiring in 2009 after 38 years.
She was devoted to her family and her faith in God as she was a communicant of St. Andre Bessette Parish. “Our mother was kind, caring, and generous without question.” She was a member of the Laconia Emblem Club and gave her time to the Ladies Auxiliary of the Laconia Elks Club. She enjoyed her flowers, crocheting, puzzles, music, playing cards and visiting with family. Better yet, a good game of Yahtzee!
