Julia loved learning and excelled in her academic studies throughout her schooling. she later became a certified dental assistant, in which she was highly skilled and was entrusted with leading roles in the dental office.
Julia was very kind, mild, friendly and was known for her infectious smile. Amazingly, she had the ability to maintain strength and a positive outlook through difficult times. It was a joy just to be in her presence. She loved her family and worked hard to care for her children when she was able. Sadly she was seriously injured in a car wreck back in 1991, which left her totally disabled for the rest of her life. Her dear sister, Diane, lovingly stayed by her side as an unmatched caregiver around the clock.
