Julie began her career in Williston at the salon in the Plainsman Hotel. Her career continued at Herberger’s in Fargo, Service Drug in Williston and she retired from Plaza Drug in Bismarck.

A dedicated member of St. George’s Episcopal Church, she served in many capacities throughout the years. She shared her talents and gifts graciously and constantly.

A new adventure in her retirement was the opportunity to work at the ND State Capital during the legislative sessions.   She often provided her counterparts with a variety of her home baked goods.

Traveling expeditions with classmates of WHS 1962 were always a highlight and memory maker, especially San Diego, Monterey, Reno, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Madeline Island, Wis. and Mexico to name a few.

Her fluent and distinctive left-handed writings of notes and letters were always a gift to receive.
