I am so sorry to see the notice that Julie has passed away. She is now pain free and with her “Yes Dear” husband once more. The MOCA organization and the VFW Auxiliary was fortunate to have Julie a member. Julie was amazing and a wonderful food preparer. She was amazed that just a little country girl could achieve the heights of leadership that she did. My sympathy to Julie’s family.l

Julie….my heart has a special place for you as I know how much you cared for our daughter Natasha. You two had a special bond that showed when you would babysit her and how you would light up when asking about her or when you two would see each other on rare occasions. To the amazing “bike lady” with the most beautiful smile, you will and are missed and loved…always.

I am so sorry to read of Julie’s passing. I have known and admired here for many years. We got to know each other through the Veterans organizations that we were involved in. She always had a positive attitude, and was delightful to be around. I am so happy that I got to know her and so proud to have called her friend.
My condolences to all her family and may your good memories of her help to soften your grief.
RIP dear Julie
