She was a devoted wife and mother, staying home to care for her family, and was a good cook and housekeeper. She also volunteered in the P.T.A. After Delbert's death, Julia joined a grief support group at the hospital, thoughtfully sending greeting cards to others experiencing happy or sad times in their lives. She enjoyed reading, listening to country & western music, watching detective stories and Johnnie Carson on television, and spending time with her friends. She was a thoughtful, loving person who always had a smile on her face.
