June A. Corkins, 73 of Troy, Vt passed away on October 17, 2024 at her home surrounded by her closest family after an awe inspiring battle with cancer.

She was born in Newport, Vermont on May 8th,1951 to the late Floyd Cota and Flora (Streeter) Cota.

June was the giver of all givers. Always putting others before herself right until her last day. She graciously volunteered years to The Missisquoi Valley Ambulance, Modern 29ers Home Dem Club,  Orleans County Foster Parent Association and the Vermont State Foster Parent Association.  She was also very involved with the Orleans/Essex Special Olympics as a coach and fundraiser along with support to attend events with the athletes. June always was the first person to offer of herself to spear head a fundraiser, donate a meal or support others in any way that she could. June faced her cancer battle with grace and strength and fought until the end.

June was a foster parent for 20 plus years taking in over 70 children into her home to love and advocate for.   She then went to work for Northeast Kingdom Human Services devoting herself to taking care of special needs adults until her retirement from there in 2017. She continued providing care to a special man until her passing.  June was co owner of Maple's Bakery for the last 15 years, using her amazing baking talent to make delicious baked goods for the local area and beyond.

June loved to knit, crochet, quilt and bake. Her favorite hobby was traveling with her kids and grandkids.  She enjoyed the Maine coast the most and spent time there every summer. She also enjoyed cruising the Carribean, expoloring Florida, and visiting resorts in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Family was always her main priority from hosting holiday dinners, organizing family reunions or watching her grandchildrens sporting events.  You never left without hearing "I Love You".

June is survived by her daughters Amanda Elie and her husband Perry, Laurie Decosta and husband Jason, Donna Corkins and Jolene Corkins. Grandchildren: Brendon Elie, Trent Elie, Tori Adams, Kimber Barbeau, Drew Barbeau and Jaynie Decosta.
