She had worked as a meat wrapper at several area grocery stores including Kroger, IGA in Marion, and National Foods for a total of twenty six years.
Julia loved her family very much and enjoyed spending time with them, especially her grandkids and great grandkids.
She was a fixer of everything. If she knew of a need, she saw to it that, no matter what, it got accomplished!

Other survivors include three daughters, four grandchildren, three great grandchildren, one brother and several nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
