A woman of decisive opinions, Julie lead a full life, emphasized through her strong Catholic faith, devotion to family, and a lifetime of service, including her career as a Registered Nurse.

Growing up in a French-speaking family provided a basis for Julie’s broad-ranging interests and the many close friends that lasted a lifetime.  From creating fine petit point designs, to a long tradition of making her own wine, to serving her church in many capacities, she was continually an active participant in her life.  An avid card player, Julie was particularly accomplished as a duplicate bridge player, achieving the level of Silver Life Master award from the American Contract Bridge League.

Now interred in the Sequim View Cemetery, a memorial mass is scheduled for April 17, 8:30 am at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Sequim.  In lieu of flowers, masses may be offered for Julie, or donations to St. Vincent de Paul.
