Julie was a woman of character and strength. She enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Julie loved going to the beach with her family. For many years Julie was an outstanding nurse. She was a bright light shining onto everyone she met. Her personality and sense of humor are what made her who she was.
