Julie Marie Burns (65) passed away on March 25, 2022 at Spring Creek Health & Rehab in Cabot. A daughter of Charles and Diane (Dial) Wilkerson, she was born March 19, 1957 in Brinkley. Following graduation from Brinkley High School, Julie was united in marriage to Cecil Franklin "Bubba" Burns on May 30,1975 in Brinkley. Their son Matt was born in Brinkley in 1978, in the same hospital and was delivered by Dr. J.P. Williams, the same doctor who had delivered Julie.
Julie spent many years working in Brinkley at Anheuser Busch and Arkla Gas. She later worked alongside her husband Bubba operating the Burns Insurance Agency. Julie volunteered at baseball games and never missed a game her son Matt played. She shared empathy, warmth and love with her family, friends, customers and strangers.
Julie battled dementia since 2004, and even with the debilitating effects of the disease, she brought great joy to others by often telling those around her that she loved them.
Julie is preceded in death by her grandparents Lambert C. and Bertrum Dial, Milferd Wilkerson and Muriel Mitchell, her parents Charles and Diane Wilkerson, her Uncle, Bert Dial and brother-in-law, Buddy Fitzhugh.
Julie is survived by her husband of 46 years, Bubba Burns of Brinkley, son Matt (Katie) Burns of North Little Rock, sister Patrice Fitzhugh of Brinkley, grandchildren Ellie & Charlie Burns of North Little Rock, nephew Luke (Kara) Fitzhugh and their children. God also blessed Julie with her bonus sisters: Kathi Hudspeth, Anna Grizzle and Becky Acree.
The family is very grateful to the staff of Spring Creek Health and Rehab with special appreciation to her loving nurses: Alicia, Chasity, Danielle, Dorian, Lacey and Tracy along with her Brinkley caregiver Joanne Parker. They loved and cared for Julie as they would their own family.
Family and friends will gather for graveside services at the Cotton Plant Cemetery on April 1, 2022 at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, please
