She met her loving husband Ross in 1981, and they were later married in 1983. Julie loved her rose and sharing pictures of her flower garden. But most of all she loved her little dogs. They were pampered like family.

Julie passed on Sunday, July 23rd at the AutoXpo. This was one of her favorite things to do, she lived the cars and talking to the hit and miss engine people.
