One report says June died in Benidorm in September.

The family is now raising £14,000 to cover mortuary fees, repatriation, and funeral costs. According to Plymouth Herald, the GoFundMe page had collected £11,382 toward the target, leaving the family facing an unexpected financial burden from a death abroad.
A Sudden Loss During Holiday
June died in Benidorm in September during what was meant to be a relaxing break. Examiner Live reports she fought a short but difficult illness before passing away. Her family described her as "one in a billion" — a caring, bubbly presence who brought joy wherever she went.
Hollie said the family is "missing mum more than ever." Despite the grief, they were grateful to reach her bedside in her final moments. Leeds Live noted how much her passing has devastated those who knew her.
Family Seeks Help With Unexpected Costs
Death abroad brings hidden expenses families rarely expect. Mortuary fees, repatriation of remains, and funeral arrangements add up fast. The Fetter family set a £14,000 target to cover these costs and bring June home to Scotland. Coventry Telegraph reported they were unprepared for the financial impact.
The GoFundMe campaign had raised £11,382 as of the latest update, leaving a gap the family hopes supporters will help close. Many families face similar shocks when a loved one dies overseas, with costs often coming as a complete surprise.
A Mother Remembered for Her Spirit
Those who knew June remember a woman full of life. She was a Scottish singer whose voice and warmth lit up rooms. Her humor and devotion to family were hallmarks of who she was. Even in grief, her daughter speaks of her with love and gratitude for the time they shared.
