She was with us for 44 years shared her beauty and artistic talents with painting, sculpting, and writing poetry. With many tattoos throughout her body as the canvas she told a story in each one. She will be remembered for her jokes, perseverance, strength and love. Julie loved many deeply, most especially her son Joseph.
She loved the outdoors especially fishing and her hobby was collecting salt shakers of which she had over 300 sets. The raiders were her favorite NFL team and as a fan she has a large raiders collection of memorabilia.
