I worked with Julie until I retired in 2013. She was a hard working woman who cared for her family and deserved better than the outcome she had to go through. I hope her surviving family will be okay. BF.

When I was staying with Julie out at the farm (very young age I won’t mention), we decided to ride double bareback on her horse down a dirt road. She got the horse running so fast I couldn’t hold on and I went flying off the back of the horse and had the wind knocked out of me. Betty (her Mom) came to my rescue as Julie laughed it off. I wish I could remember the horse’s name. Thanks for the memories Julie!!! Rest in Peace. Camy Jewell

Julie was a wonderful neighbor who always had time to chat and pet our dog Bella. She always had a kind word and a smile. She was a hardworking mom who adored her kids and her grandkids. She was a loving, caring, generous woman who will be very much missed in our little community. Please accept our deepest sympathies for your incredible loss and let us know if there is anything at all we can do to help support the family during this tragic time. The Fox / Larsen family

Julie and I became very close friends when our daughters were attending the same elementary school. I had only known her a week or two when she pulled into my driveway and insisted my girls & I come with her (and Whitney) to the PTA meeting that evening. She was very excited about it and I couldn’t resist her enthusiasm. She later nominated me to be the treasurer and a few years later, president. She also gave me a personal reference that helped me on my path and we babysat each other’s kids. We lost touch, but always remained friends. I will miss her big smile and positive influence.

I am so sorry to hear of Julie’s passing. I just heard about it today. Julie and my daughter were friends all through school. My sympathy to the whole family. RIP Julie.
