June Frances Baney Woffenden, 88

| June 3, 2016 6:00 AM

June Frances Baney Woffenden, 88, died, Sunday, May 29, 2016, at her home in Eureka.

She was born May 4, 1928, in Libby, the daughter of Sheriff Frank and Victoria Dunston Baney.

June was a beloved mother and grandmother who was deeply devoted to her family.

She graduated from the University of Montana in 1952 with a pharmaceutical degree. In 2006 she was recognized as the longest-living registered pharmacist in Montana.

She was an avid drag racing fan and raced a 1951 Chevy truck that her father’s estate provided her. She won many races and has plethora of trophies and medals to show for it!

June was a full-time mother to her six children, though she worked occasionally as a relief pharmacist. She was also a longtime member of the auxiliary of Gideons Inter-national and delighted in putting New Testaments in the hands of the many people she came in contact with.

June was loved by all and she was an inspiration to many. She had the kindest heart and the strongest desire to serve the Lord. Even her smile was enough to light up a room. You always

knew June was in the room because there would be an overwhelming feeling of joy and faith.

She will be greatly missed by her friends and family.

She is survived by her husband, Slim Woffenden; six children, David Woffenden, Douglas Woffenden, Diane Goyins, Jeffrey Woffenden, Jennifer Jessup and Jason Woffenden; and nine grandchildren ranging from 4 to 36 years of age.

Services will be held at 1 p.m. on Monday, June 6, at Fortine Community Church.

Memorials may be made to The Gideons International, P.O. Box 4094, Whitefish, MT 59937.

If you wish, you can place Bibles in June’s memory through the Gideons International by filling out a Gideon card in your local church or going online to the Gideons.org.
