More about Everfair

News

On Sunday morning, September 23, June Rosilee Jackson Rickman Cotton breathed her last breath.  A shining star of a woman, June was a vital focus of any and every community she joined.  We will gather together at two memorial services in her honor: Sunday, October 14 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Southeast Seattle Senior Center (4655 Holly at the intersection of Holly and Rainier); and Thursday, November 1 at a time to be determined at Bible Baptist Church (1700 North Drake Road, Kalamazoo MI).

A GoFundMe campaign has been created to defray the costs of those services and associated expenses such as cremation and family travel.  Please visit https://www.gofundme.com/forjuneandfamily, and thank you for helping us celebrate the life of a truly remarkable woman.
