Born on May 27, 1938, in Lake Placid, she was the daughter of Donald W. and Charlotte (Wilson) Jacques.

June was a 1956 graduate of Lake Placid Central School. She went on to graduate from Albany Memorial School of Nursing in 1959, having a long career beginning at Placid Memorial Hospital and transitioning to Uihlein Mercy Center until her retirement.

In her retirement, June’s passion became her grandchildren, attending numerous sporting events and school activities, as well as her weekly “coffee klatch” with her sisters after church on Sundays. She enjoyed her monthly lunches with her work companions and attending her weekly knitting group.

Survivors include her son Andrew (Dorothy); daughters Stacey (Ray Tempestilli) and Kerri; son Bradley (Sheila); daughter-in-law Tricia (partner Keith Clark); grandchildren Chelsea (Harry Erickson), Connor, Rylee, Alexander and Grace; sisters Janet Clark and Virginia Warrington; and numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.

She is predeceased by her son Bobby Preston; husband Robert C. Preston Sr.; sisters Constance (Connie) Preston and Elizabeth (Betty) Reid; and brothers Donald C. Jacques and Ellis Jacques.

Calling hours will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 22 at the M. B. Clark, Inc. Funeral Home, with a service to follow.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks people to consider a financial donation to the High Peaks Hospice, who provided exemplary care and support to June and her family.

Relatives and friends are invited to leave a condolence, share a memory or upload a photograph to be added to the online tribute book for the family to cherish at the funeral home’s website, www.mbclarkfuneralhome.com.
