E. June Armstrong, 93

June 20, 1929 - September 28, 2022

E. June Armstrong, 93, formerly of Strasburg Pike, Lancaster, passed away Wednesday, September 28, 2022, at Landis Homes Retirement Community. Born in Lancaster, June was the daughter of the late Elmer E. and Amy E. (Whitaker) Witwer.

She shared 63 years of marriage with her husband John E. Armstrong before his death in 2014. June worked with John in the family business, Edward Armstrong & Sons, Inc, serving as treasurer and secretary.

She enjoyed travelling, camping with the “camping gang,” spending winters in Florida and vacationing in Sea Isle City with John, family, and friends. A social and very giving person, June loved people and she could light up a room with her smile.

She was a faithful member of New Life Church, which had its beginnings in the basement of the Armstrong home. June loved music and she enjoyed singing in the choir.

Surviving June are two daughters, Nadine McDaniel, wife of Russell of Lancaster, and Darlene Stauffer of Elizabethtown; five grandchildren, Seranda Buckwalter, wife of Mark, Ashley Herr, wife of Lloyd, Travis McDaniel, companion of Heather, Joseph Stauffer, husband of Andrea, and Adam Stauffer, companion of Eve; and seven great-grandchildren; and her sisters-in-law Barbara and Millie Witwer.

In addition to her parents and husband, June was preceded in death by three brothers, Gilbert, Kenneth, and Lester Witwer.

Viewings will take place on Sunday October 2nd from 5 to 7 PM and Monday, October 3rd from 10 to 11 AM, followed by the funeral service at 11 AM, all at New Life Church, 1991 Old Philadelphia Pike, Lancaster, PA 17602. Pastor Ron Bradley, Pastor Moses Baker, and Reverend Richard Armstrong will officiate. Interment will be in Mellinger Mennonite Cemetery.

So very sorry to learn of the passing of a wonderful friend and her touch on so many lives-ours for sure.  She will at last be re-united with John in the presence of Jesus.  Carol and I extend our deepest sympathies and prayers to all the family members.  May we all celebrate her “graduation day” to Heaven as we also mourn her passing.  God Bless.

Aunt June had one of those smiles that was bigger than life! She always seemed to be happy. Her curiousity as to what was going on in your life brought about an even bigger smile. I will miss you very much. Your laughter was as big as your ❤️. Nephew, Dan Armstrong

What a precious legacy June has left for all of you who are part of her family. She was one of the most gentle, caring, loving ladies I’ve ever met. She always had a huge smile when she greeted you, wonderfully warm hugs and always knew just what to say to encourage and uplift you. She prayed…and prayed fervently…for countless people. She was always humble concerning the starting of New Life and I would imagine she rarely left her right hand know what the left one was doing (she loved helping people because it was God’s heart…not for attention) What an inspiration to every single one of us! I’m so sorry I can’t be with you all Monday, but please know I’ll be there in my heart. Thank you for “sharing her with so many over the years. We were all blessed to have known her.

My deepest sympathy to the family of June.  I knew June as a member of Curves for many years and as part of our luncheon group when Curves closed.  June was a warm, easy to talk to woman with a beautiful smile.  We will miss her and remember her fondly when we get together. Our sincere condolences from the Curves Luncheon Group.

Sorry to hear that Aunt June passed away. I am sure that she and Uncle John are together again.I remember them going skating when they started dating. Lots of fond memories, it was always exciting to see her behind the steering wheel of a car. Please accept our sincere condolences.   Don and Fay

Just love June so much and her smile and pleasant attitude.  Glad I could be of some help to her at church.
She was and is a great lady.

To Nadine and the rest of the families we were so very sorry to hear of June’s passing. Your all in our thoughts and prayers. June was a woman of God. She loved the Lord and enjoyed talking about God. She truly loved her family and she definitely loved people. She will surely be missed by everyone that knew her. I am so glad I got to visit with her.
