Catherine "June" (Byers) Pendergast, 87 years old, passed away peacefully at the DeGraff Skilled Nursing facility on Saturday, March 5th, 2022. She was born in Niagara Falls on June 29th, 1934, the daughter of the late George and Rosella (Newman) Byers.

June was a 1952 graduate of Niagara Falls High School, wife, mother of six children, along with many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a former employee of the City of Niagara Falls and Goose Creek, SC, where she lived for many years. She was also a volunteer at both the North Tonawanda Senior Center and History Museum. June was known for her great sense of humor, something that sustained her later in life.

June is survived by her former husband, Charles Pendergast; daughters, Patience (Joseph) Kosowski, Kathleen Kochems, Elizabeth (Pete) Myers; and sons, Chuck (Charlene) and David (Cindy) Pendergast.
