From Julie’s husband, Jeff:
This is hard to write—I’ll do my best. On July 26, 1980, I was blessed to unite in marriage with a beautiful young girl, Julie. She was 20 and I was 22 years old. In 1982 we were blessed with a son, Joe. He grew up learning traits from both of us, becoming a fine young man, hardworking and caring. Fast forward to 2010 when Joe blessed us with a beautiful granddaughter, Luellen—they were inseparable. Their bond was like no other except maybe Julie and Joe’s. Then in 2020 tragedy struck our family. Julie was diagnosed with Stage 4 bone cancer, turning our lives upside down and causing many tears to be shed. And in August of 2022, I found my son, our only child, deceased; he passed away in his sleep of an enlarged heart. This crushed many hearts.
On February 26, 2024, Julie collapsed while I helped her into the vehicle to go to the Cancer Center, one of our many five-times-a-month trips during the last four years. Her heart quit beating. I got her breathing again, but once more she coded. Paramedics arrived and did their best. We got to the hospital and with tears in their eyes, the doctors told me she had massive brain damage, and the machine was the only thing keeping her alive. I stayed with her and then asked the doctors, “There’s no miracle, is there?” We knew their reply, so on February 27, 2024, at 1:10 p.m. I had to make the hardest decision in my life—to pull the plug—knowing this would be what Julie wanted. I told her our only son, Joe, was waiting with open arms at the gate. There would be no more pain and suffering, just happiness for her.
In ending this I ask for prayers for my granddaughter, Luellen, and her PAPA Jeff. I love you all—God bless you. I had a wonderful 43 ½ years with the love of my life, Julie.
Love, Jeff
P.S. I am crying like a baby now! I have a landline, so please call any time. I like hearing the voices of people I know.

I met Julie in 1988 when Matt and I starting dating, she was a wonderful person . She was a great aunt to me and Matt’s daughter Kristyn. May she RIP . My thoughts and prayers to the Mauls and Woster families ❣️❣️
Jeff, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Julie is a special person. She was dedicated, caring and would always tell you the truth. I know she will be resting peacefully with Joe looking down and granting your family the grace needed for this time. God Bless
I love you my beautiful auntie. May you rest in peace. I hope you and Joesph are reunited and happy together again. ❤️
My Aunt Julie is someone I always looked up to. She was beautiful, strong, funny and just all around one of the most caring people I have ever met. Her and my mom taught me how to play card games and they would always include me in anything they did when we were all together. Being at her house with her, my cousin Joe, and my Uncle Jeff always felt like a second home to me. Somewhere you can relax, laugh, and just feel the warm comfort of the people around you. It was one of my favorite places to go.
I miss her more than words can say. I know that her and Joe are reunited now and watching over all of us every single day. That love they shared for each other and their family is all around us. Thank you for everything you taught me. And for the memories I will cherish forever. I love you so incredibly much.
Your Peaches,
Jenny
Dear Jeff,
Losing someone you loved so much is an unimaginable pain, and my thoughts are with you during this challenging time. I hope you find solace in the love and memories you shared with your wife.
