June Rosalie Feathers

NORTH CANAAN — June Rosalie Feathers died Feb. 23, 2022, at the age of 96 while a resident of Geer Nursing and Rehabilitation in North Canaan.

She was born Oct. 1, 1925, in Bristol, Conn.

She was married to John Feathers for 64 years. They raised four children in their home in the Canaan Valley.

Our mom was a quiet, private person and enjoyed passing her time watching her beloved soap operas and sitcoms.

Her family was everything to her. We will miss her quick wit and great sense of humor.

Her husband, John, and son, Todd, predeceased her, John in 2011 and Todd in 1980.

She is survived by her son, John, and his wife, Donna; her daughter, Pam, and her husband, Joe Rieger; and her son, Chad, and his partner, Brenda Segalla VandeBogart.

She is also survived by her sister, Joyce Chrzanowski; as well as 10 grandchildren and many great- and great-great-grandchildren.

Services will be held in the spring at the family’s convenience.

Arrangements are under the care of the Newkirk-Palmer Funeral Home in North Canaan.

Magic Fluke Ukulele Shop and True Wheels Bicycle Shop are not only under the same roof in a beautiful solar powered building on Route 7 in Sheffield, but they are also both run by the Webb family, telling a tale of familial passion, innovation and a steadfast commitment to sustainability.

In the late ‘90s, Dale Webb was working in engineering and product design at a corporate job. “I took up instrument manufacturing as a fun challenge,” said Dale. After an exhibit at The National Association of Music Merchants in Anaheim, California, in 1999, The Magic Fluke company was born. “We were casting finger boards and gluing these things together in our basement in New Hartford and it just took off,” Dale explained. “It was really a wild ride, it kind of had a life of its own.”
