Julia was a compassionate lady who adored her family. She enjoyed the Saturday night sleepovers with her grandchildren, gardening and putting up veggies. She loved to cook Sunday dinner for everyone and the more that came the happier she was. She was famous for her chocolate cakes and pies at the Sunday dinners and was always the last one to eat. Her kind and peaceful spirit will be greatly missed.
