June R. Osowski

Summer Night

By June Osowski

The orchard stills as

Dusk approaches

Hushed and attentive, I wait

An audience of one.

The evening star appears and

Above flat topped apples trees

Bats cross and recross.

Arcs of wobbling brown flight

Snatching supper on the wing.

June R. Osowski, 64, died peacefully Dec. 10, 2020 at her home surrounded by her family after a long battle with cancer.

She was born in So. Weymouth, MA, March 1, 1956, the daughter of Peter J. and Shirley J. (Standish) Curtin Sr.

June graduated from Brockton High School in Brockton, MA and Stonehill College in Easton, MA. She received her master’s degree from Simmons University in Boston, MA.

June was the beloved, long-time Children’s Librarian at the Rutland Free Library. She felt immense privilege to have such a wonderful career and wished all to know her gratitude and goodwill towards the patrons she met during her service to the community.
