Julie worked as a loving daycare provider for over 35 years. There have been hundreds and hundreds of children that were cared for by Julie. There are several instances of Julie caring for multiple generations of the same family. She was one of the most in demand daycare providers in Jamestown. Children were her life, the kids in the daycare were a constant source of joy and she lit up when talking about them. Julie never planned retirement and thought she would take care of children until she was physically unable. Being a daycare provider was never a job to her, it was a passion.

Julie enjoyed planting and tending to her many flower gardens. She enjoyed planning family get togethers’ on holidays and special occasions, always making sure everyone was well fed. Julie enjoyed her gadgets and always had some of the newest technology around the house. She loved bingo and trips to the casinos with her friends. True to her nature, she found immense joy helping someone in need. At her core she was a caregiver.

Above all else, she was a fiercely proud wife, mother and grandmother. She never missed an opportunity to proudly speak about her family and their successes and took every opportunity to spoil them in any way she could. Her Christmas celebrations became legendary amongst her grandchildren.
