Artist model June Furlong was buried on the 4oth Anniversary of the death of her art school friend John Lennon. June was a great story teller and would reminisce daily about her London days at the Slade and the Royal College of Art and life at Liverpool Art School.
Moira Kenny recorded June over a period of 20 years and for the last two years she visited June daily during her illness after a diagnosis of cancer and recorded her for The Art of Living oral history project. June wanted to share her experience of losing her independence, challenges that came through needing professional care and leaving the house that she was born in and lived for 90 years; 58 Falkner Street, L8.
June had a team of friends who cared and looked after her until she eventually moved to Marmaduke Care Home where she died peacefully.
The famous Miss Amy June Furlong is sadly missed, she was a larger than life character and sometimes a little bit mischievous but everyone forgave her because she had a lovely smile.
The Art of Living was funded by public donation via SpaceHive and Crowdfund Liverpool.
Liverpool Irish Festival commissioned this film using creative community funding awarded by the Irish Government's Emigrant Support Programme.
