June L. Sweeney, age 94, of Columbus, Ohio died peacefully at Riverview Health & Rehabilitation Center on August 11, 2024 after a lengthy illness. June was born June 3, 1930 in Chicago, Illinois and raised there. In 1952, June met Don Sweeney who at the time lived in Indianapolis and returned often to be with her. In 1954, June and Don were married in Waukegan, Illinois, and she converted to Catholicism. Shortly after, they moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, and then to Columbus in 1957. Later in life, when Don was fighting to survive a glioblastoma, he wrote June a short note to tell her “Since we first met, all I ever wanted was for you to come live with me and be my love.” June was the love of Don’s life. As longtime members of Brookside Country Club, June was an avid and competitive golfer. She enjoyed playing bridge and was active for many years with the Nationwide Children's Hospital TWIG. When Don received his cancer diagnosis, June went to work for the hair salon, Designs on You in Kingsdale Shopping Center. She had a passion for working crossword puzzles and debating politics with her oldest grandson. June treasured her many friends made over the years through Brookside and later in life, especially Connie Lord Lynch, Ellen Murrin, and Helen Ashley. June was the daughter of the late George M. Daly, Olive B. (Fagerburg) Cleland, and Margaret C. Daly (stepmother). She was preceded in death by her husband, W.
