Former long-time Hollister businesswomen and community leader June E. Paine passed away on Sunday Oct. 10 at the William And Inez Mabie Skilled Nursing Center at the age of 84 years. A native of San Francisco, Mrs. Paine moved here in 1946. She and her late husband Delmer F. Paine were co-owers of Paines Club and then Paines Bar and Restaurant.

“She was known as a loving and generous wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and mother-in-law” said her daughters. Her enjoyments and talents included cooking, being a seamstress – sewing clothes for her children from their young years until the days of their weddings. She even made bridemaids and wedding dresses. “Being able to take cruises, trips to Reno, and spend time in different parts of the world was very rewarding for her.” Playing cards and dominoes with her daughters and their children brought joy into her life.
