Sep. 9, 2015:  June M. Wingebach of Stamford, CT, died peacefully at her home on July 23, 2015. She was 96 years old.

She is survived by her children, Wilbur M. (Bam) Alling of Wilmington, NC, June A. (Jaye) Richey of Riverside, CT, and Albert M. (Bert) Alling of Arlington, VA; five grandchildren; and eleven great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husbands, Wilbur M. (Bill) Alling Jr. of Bronxville and Arthur D. (Art) Wingebach, also of Bronxville, as well as her beloved friend Edward "Bin" Binshadler of Edgehill.

June was born on February 28, 1919, in Detroit, Michigan, to Albert Edward and June Wood Meder. She graduated from Miss Porter's School and Sarah Lawrence College, where she met her first husband, Bill. They married on June 1, 1940, and lived in New York City. Bill served in the US Army in the European theater during WWII, and shortly after his return the couple moved to Bronxville to raise their three children. Bill died in 1967.

June married Art, a Bronxville widower, and they travelled the world for 25 years. Art died in 1994, and in 1998 June moved to Edgehill, becoming one of its first residents. Shortly thereafter she met Bin, and they became inseparable friends. Arm in arm, they would enter the dining room, four legs, two canes--a very happy six-legged creature.

In addition to her illustrious career as a wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, June was accomplished at acting. She performed for many years in the Junior League of Bronxville's Children's Theater and had a leading role in Edgehill Review. She served on the board of the Westchester Children's Association and was co-founder of the annual Christmas tree sale fundraiser, which thrived for many years.

Before transferring to St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Riverside, she was the oldest member of The Reformed Church of Bronxville, where she and Bill established their children's religious foundation.

A family burial service was held on July 29, and a memorial service will be held at St. Paul's in Riverside on September 11 at 11:00 am.
