Celebrating the life of

June Vietry

June Vietry, 72, of Cranston, Rhode Island passed away Monday, December 28th with her children by her side. Mother, grandmother, sister, nurse, friend, dog lover, latte queen, chief Christmas Elf and Superhero, she was the absolute best. 

Born in Johnson, daughter of the late George Cunha and Dorothy Barlow, sister of George Cunha and the late Robert Cunha. Wife and first mate to the late Robert ‘Bob’ Vietry. June spent her entire career dedicating herself to helping others as a registered nurse, only retiring from Omega Medical Research after her cancer diagnosis. Momma June was a second mother to all who knew her, constantly welcoming everyone into her home. Despite her poor prognosis, June beat all odds and spent her remaining five years living life to the fullest, traveling, seeking new experiences and surrounding herself with loved ones.

June is survived by her loving and dedicated children, Jason Vietry (fiancée Lauren Cotney), Samantha Vietry (son-in-law Tobias Maeder) and Stephanie Vietry (son-in-law Thomas Kandl), her four grandchildren whom she adored, Alec Vietry, Bret Vietry, Harper Kandl, and Marlowe Maeder, and her forever puppy Lou Lou. 

A private service took place in Savannah on December 29th and a Memorial service will be planned in Rhode Island for friends and family in 2021.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in June’s memory to the Lustgarten Foundation, the nation's largest private funder of pancreatic cancer research, at lustgarten.org, or to pancan.org, a nationwide network supporting the pancreatic cancer community or to cancercommons.org, a one-on-one support organization for cancer patients.

So sorry for your loss! I will keep you all in my prayers.

- Ron Cascione, Providence, Rhode Island

So sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with June when I was a CNA at Cedar Crest Nursing home. I then became an RN and left Cedar Crest. I owe some of my knowledge and compassion to your Mom. She was a true nurse. I also remember going with Jay ice skating and to the circus. May she rest in peace and know that she touched a lot of lives.
