She thoroughly enjoyed all these communities and what they had to offer .

As children and grandchildren we all reaped the benefits of her creative interests, having the best Halloween costumes , lots of home knit mitts and sweaters , beautiful ly sewn quilts , and amazing birthday cakes . Unable to create in her later years, she did maintain her jovial nature and relish ed every visit with family and friends.

In her final six years, Julia resided at Chancellor Park. The care was exceptional and we wish to express our heartfelt thanks to all the staff for their compassion and the ir attention to every detail .
