Obituaries

Julie was a 'repeat customer' in home health therapies, having completed 2 episodes of in-home therapy in the past year, and I am so so privileged to have been her Occupational Therapist. Her faith was deep and her humor was that of a stand-up comedian, and she even admitted that she'd wanted to do stand-up once upon a time! I've rarely laughed so much with a home health client and will cherish all she taught me, and the fabulous cookbook, all my days.. your Champagne Torte that I made for Memorial Day this year was just as divine as you, Julie!!

Julie and I worked together at The Monroe Clinic. She was the supervisor of medical transcription while I was the Nursing director! Right from the start, we had an amazing friendship along with a high level of support for each other in our responsibilities at work. Together we made all (dozens) the cookies for the Children's Christmas Party held at the clinic for children of the employees. Several evenings of baking and laughing as Julie had an amazing sense of humor! A memory I will always cherish is a hayride we planned for coworkers, unfortunately Julie pulled a muscle in her leg getting on or off the wagon but that did not interfere with the fun she would have telling stories and entertaining with her humor! Unfortunately, the time we spent together was less and less after Julie moved to Madison. I will miss her Christmas letter and forever cherish the memories I have of our time together. I was truly blessed to know Julie!

Although I didn't work directly with Julie at WEA Trust, I remember quite clearly her smile, her laughter and her generosity. And when she was doing the Guardian Baker work, I remember her telling me that people in the homeless shelter deserved better than the regular day-old or week-old cookies that were donated by stores. They deserved fresh and delicious food made with love especially for them. It takes a special soul to spread that sort of love and to recognize that we are all children of God. I'm sad that you are no longer with us, Julie, but I trust you are surrounded by love and peace. I hope that your family is comforted by knowing how many lives you touched with your love.

I roomed with Julie in Marshfield in the early 1970's. She was always so friendly and caring person. Lost track of her when she moved away. So sorry for your loss. With deepest sympathies!

My deepest sympathies to her family at this time. And to all those who knew her. Cherish the memories 🙏

Julie brought a smile to my face every time I ran into her at the WEA Trust. She had a quick wit and heart of gold. I still think with fond memories of the beautiful carrot cake she made for me at my retirement. What a talented, unforgettable, and truly wonderful woman.

Julie was such a joy in our lives. I have her signed cookbook & always get compliments when I make one of her recipes! We will never forget her story of Rindercella!!! Lots of treasured memories. She always made us laugh until tears ran down our cheeks! We will always feel blessed to have known you Julie. Love you ❤️❤️❤️ Barb & Russ Wirth

I had the privilege of working with Julie at the Trust. I was then blessed to be reunited with her at Metcalfes Market. She was a joy to everyone at the front end. We will miss you Julie. You are now one of our beautiful angels to watch over us. ❤️ Meg

I can vouch for Julie's sense of humor and her continuous attitude of gratitude. Thank you Lynn W. for inviting me to join you and Julie at Brewer game - one of Julie's favorite teams, and a wonderful memory.

I have known Julie since junior high, and I have very fond memories of all the things we did together. She was always able to make anyone feel better with her contagious smile and warm personality. I will definitely think of her every time I make one of the recipes from her cookbook. Heaven has gotten a new angel. Sincere sympathy to Julie's family and friends. She was a very special person!
