June Ann Conley

SKOWHEGAN – It is with sorrowful, but grateful, hearts that we announce the passing of June Ann Conley who died, while surrounded by family, on March 11, 2026, at the age of 91, in Skowhegan, Maine.

June was born on June 15, 1934, in Orono, Maine to William Lester and Ethel Julia (nee Greene) Brooks. She graduated from Orono High School. While raising four children, she attended and graduated from The University of Maine at Farmington with a degree in education. For more than 25 years, she was a kindergarten teacher at Skowhegan’s North Elementary School, shaping hundreds of lives. She is fondly remembered by her students and colleagues.

June was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother who found joy in gardening, puzzling and being “Nannie” to her seven grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. She will be remembered for her kindness, love of children and her love of family.

June was one of 12 siblings who came of age during the Great Depression. Her devotion to her family of origin was a hallmark of her life. Many of those siblings have predeceased her, with her brother, David, and sisters, Ruth and Jean, here to mourn her loss.

She was predeceased by her beloved husband of 56 years, Edward J. Conley. She is survived by her son Timothy (his wife Melissa) of Virginia Beach, Va., James (his wife Jodie Elgee) of Kingston, Mass., Jeannie Conley (her predeceased husband Bob Colby) of Portland, Maine, and Julie True (her husband Jarrod) of Cornville, Maine.

She will be deeply missed by her seven grandchildren, Matthew Conley and his wife Michele, Elizabeth Hopkins and her husband Alex, William Conley-Elgee and his wife Kezia Ofiesh, Samuel Conley-Elgee and his wife Grace Lee, Michael Miller and his fiancé Lindsey Williams, Danielle Sawyer and her husband Scott, and Sarah True.

A private burial will be held on June 6, 2026, followed by a celebration of life at the Somerset Valley Remembrance Center at 19 Washburn Ln. in Skowhegan at 12 p.m.

At the time of her passing her bed was visited by several ladybugs, a sign that she is in the arms of angels who protect and guide her as she is reunited with those who passed before her.
