June Kimura
November 6, 1927 — March 3, 2023
June Kimura's life journey ended on March 3, 2023. She was a Scott High School graduate and spent her career traveling the world working for the U.S. State Department. Some of her destinations included India, Kuwait, Burma, Pakistan, Vietnam, Thailand, and Argentina. Her four-legged travel companion for many years was her poodle, Casey. June enjoyed spending time in Hong Kong and indulging in one of her favorite pastimes - shopping.
After retiring, she spent time with family. She traveled with her sister and friends. June was often the big winner at the family poker games and was known to spend time playing penny slots at the local casino. She was an avid college basketball fan, rooting for the Duke Blue Devils and Toledo Rockets. She also enjoyed watching NBA basketball and tennis.
June was a big fan of Bruce Springsteen and jumped to her feet when he took the stage at one of his concerts. June loved good food, especially homemade sushi and Indian cuisine. She was always open to trying any new food. She was small in stature, but a fighter having overcome many health challenges and fending off a would-be mugger.
Celebrating her memory are her sister-in-law, Patricia Kimura; nephews, Kim Kimura, Brian Kimura, Bill Kimura, Jay Kimura, and Donny Kimura; nieces, Kimberly Copeland and Jackie Kimura; and many great nieces and nephews.
June joins her parents, Kan and Teiko Kimura; sister, Haru Thompson; brothers Jack, Jim, George, and Buddy; niece, Laurie Crawford; and nephew, Johnny, in the afterlife.
The family will celebrate June's kind, generous, and fiercely independent spirit on Tuesday, March 7, from 10:30 a.m. - 12 noon at Newcomer Funeral Home – West Sylvania Chapel, 3655 King Rd., Toledo, OH (419-392-9500) with a Memorial Service at 12 noon, followed by a graveside prayer at Historic Woodlawn Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the American Cancer Society, Humane Society, or an organization you passionately support.
Special thanks to the caring and compassionate staff at Lakes of Sylvania and Hospice of Northwest Ohio.
