Julie and I were classmates and good friends in middle school and high school at Rapid River. What a joy it has been to see the beautiful life she created with her husband, children, and grandchildren. May her legacy and smile continue on.

Julie was such an amazing person. Cory played ball with my husband for radio results net work. Julie was so friendly and always so sweet. I remember a time where I was asked to do the books for the team and I would draw smiley faces in the book and Julie just laughed… I had absolutely no idea how to keep scores! Julie soon took over doing the books for each game. She loved being with her grand children they brought the biggest smile to her face and she was one of the loudest voices when the guys on our team did well. Rest in peace dear friend❤️
