Julia was employed at several businesses including Phillips Plastics, Golden Age Nursing Home and Home Health before she was employed for 25 years with Horizons Unlimited.
Several years after retirement, she devoted her time in caring for her paraplegic nephew, James Lunde. All those who knew Julia were touched by her love and kindness.
She devoted much of her time and energy to family and friends. Cookie enjoyed attending family gatherings and cookouts, knitting, crocheting, cooking and loved crafts.
