N. June Good

N. June Good, age 104, of Dayton, PA, passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, May 4, 2013.

She was born at home a century ago, March 22, 1909 in Snyderville, Wayne Twp, Armstrong County, the last surviving child of George and Mary (Bussard) Clever.

June was born and raised in Synderville. She married James P. Good, who died in January, 1971 and they worked together as the proprietors of the Good Hotel along Main Street in Dayton. She never married again after Jim's death, advising people she didn't see anyone she liked better than him. June was the oldest living member of the Dayton Glade Run Presbyterian Church where she participated in the Missionary Ladies Group. June was also a member of the Dayton Grange for over 81 years, and an active member of the Dayton Senior Center, often entertaining the other members with her musical talents.

In the span of her 104 years, June touched many lives with her warm personality and sweet disposition. An independent woman with a strong work ethic, June told many she worked hard all her life and that's why she lived such a long and good life and able to remain active well over age 100. June would often be seen around Dayton with her canes in tow, walking to the bank or the post office.

June loved music, and could play the ukulele and piano by ear since early childhood. She shared her beautiful musical talents often with area nursing homes and senior citizen gatherings. Her Hawaiian dance will remain a fond memory for many Dayton residents. Her greatest joy came from spending time with her family, and she looked forward to visits from her grandchildren. She will long be remembered as a caring soul with a heart of gold.

She will be deeply missed by her three grandsons, James A. Kerr and his wife Mariellen of Pittsburgh, Robert S. Kerr and his wife Pam of McMurray, and John W. Kerr and his wife Jennifer of Pittsburgh; three great-grandsons, Dan Elzer and his wife, Nicole, Tyler Kerr and Colin Kerr; two great-granddaughters, Rachel L. Bucki and her husband Greg, and Madison Kerr; great-great granddaughter Allison Bucki, great-great grandson Ethan Elzer, and numerous nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews.
