Julie graduated high school at Palo Verde High School in Tucson, Arizona. For nearly two decades Julie managed the front desk at the Kings Inn in Pierre. Julie loved meeting new people from all walks of life.
Julie’s children and grandchildren were her pride and joy. Julie and her daughter, Katlyn, shared an inseparable bond, there wasn’t a day that went by in which they didn’t talk. Julie enjoyed showering her grandchildren with treats anytime she could, and she loved having large family dinners, dessert was a must! Julie also enjoyed reading but most importantly spending time with her children and grandchildren. Family was everything to Julie, she had a heart of gold and was a strong and independent woman. She was truly one of a kind and will be missed by all who loved her.
