WEINSTEIN JUNE (nee Gross)-Our hearts are
broken because our beloved June
Weinstein passed away suddenly
yesterday. June Weinstein, daugh-
ter of Winnie and Jack Gross, of
Langhorne, PA., wife of the late Ar-
nie Weinstein passed away unex-
pectedly but peacefully in her sleep
July 20th, 2022. June was born in
Philadelphia in February, 1929.

She, like her late husband Arnie,
lived an enchanted life. June, Nan-
ny, Nanny June, Juney and Aunt
June was an amazing woman full
of vitality and life right up until the
moment she passed. June was a
fashion model, tennis player, ski-
er, actress and very special artist.

Her role as “Stupifyin’ Jones” in
the local production of Lil’ Abner
was casted perfectly since she was
similar to her in real life – “drop
dead gorgeous”. Although 93 at her
time of passing, June was never
“old”. June was forever young. She
loved working on her iPad when
she wasn’t yelling at it. She played
“Words With Friends”, was active
on Facebook, read books and, of
course, watched The Batchelor-
ette on TV. But her favorite pas-
time was watching nature, looking
out over her pond and studying the
animals, flowers and trees, planting
flowers and watching the seasons
change. June was the matriarch
of her family and so very proud of
her 3 children and their spouses, 9
grandchildren and 10 great grand-
children. She loved nothing more
than the conversations she had
with all of her children and her chil-
dren loved speaking with her just as
much. She leaves a great big hole
in all of our hearts that will be very
difficult to ever fill. We love you for-
ever. JOSEPH LEVINE & SONS
