As a member of Eielson Church of Christ in North Pole, AK, Julie was loved by the congregation and they tell that she consistently had numerous prayer requests for others and that she had a huge heart.

Julie loved dogs and always cared for many at a time. She assisted with the humane society in the area whenever she could.

A unique attribute of Julie was to send cards to the nieces and nephews with $2 bills and odd amounts of cash and checks. She did this for years and continued to do so as recently as a few days before her death. She never missed sending birthday cards to her family members. It was also told by a friend in Alaska that Julie always had some $2 bills to give to her grandchildren whenever she saw them.

When her brother, Dallen, went through throat cancer in 2014, Julie checked up on him daily during a ten week stretch of surgeries and treatments.

Most importantly, Julie was a follower of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and is now at rest in a beautiful place.

The family would like to thank the members of her congregation and her good friends for the support given to Julie during some difficult years.
