Julie enjoyed crocheting, quilting, reading, and keeping up with friends on social media. She also loved animals and had a number of dogs and cats that she cared for over the years. The four cats she had at her passing are now at the local shelter C.A.R.E. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to C.A.R.E. in honor of Julie's love of animals.
