Julie was a homemaker and devoted wife. She also provided daycare to many of her family and friends and considered this her life’s calling. She enjoyed watching the Denver Broncos and spending time with family and friends. Julie will be remembered for her cooking, “the gift of gab”, and mostly, as her family’s matriarch. She was taken from us way too early, but we know she has joined her mom and dad in heaven. In lieu fo flowers and food, donations may be made in Julie’s honor to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
