Tribute

Born on Independence Day, Julie lived her life in a way that matched the firework spirit of that date—bold, dramatic, spontaneous, and entirely unforgettable. She had a personality that filled every room she entered. Julie could talk your ears off, crack a joke with razor-sharp wit, and surprise you with her creative spark and fierce independence. Though life was complicated, Julie remained unapologetically herself. She was strong-willed, unpredictable, and carried a kind of chaotic energy that left a lasting impression on everyone she met. Her story was not simple, but it was hers— and she lived it with a fire few could match. May she find peace now. She will be deeply missed.
