Julia was a very loving kind person that loved caring for others. Her husband, children and family were very dear to her and 5 children learned what the love of a mother was. She had a wonderful sense of humor and it was said she was a survivor of her children's pranks. She was also a Den Leader for a Cub Scout group which also took a strong loving person of children to accomplish. When not caring for her family Julia loved to read, listen to music, and write poetry. She has a collection of many of her poems that the family loves to read and will be able to remember her forever. Above all in her life, her love of Jesus was instilled deep in her heart.
