Esther Allen and Louis Victor Petry in Hoopeston, Illinois. Julia was the youngest of their three very talented girls.

But it was Robert Winn Gibson who stole her heart while a student at Depauw University in Greencastle Indiana from 1947-1951. At Depauw, Julia joined the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, an affiliation that spanned 60 years through the writing of letters to her Theta "sisters" celebrating births, graduations and anniversaries.

Their daughter Mary died of cancer in 2004, their son George lives in Atlanta, Georgia with his wife and two children, Kyle and Emily and their daughter Julie lives in Jacksonville, Florida with her husband Jonathan.
