I was so saddened to hear of Julie's passing. I worked with her back in the 1970's at Commercial and Savings Bank in Wadhams. What fun we had! Even though we lost contact through the years I will never forget her sparkling personality. All the girls at the bank threw a baby shower for her. I am attaching a picture I took at the shower. My sincere sympathy to the entire family. Kathy Silk Hillman

We will see you Wednesday for sure and always know you can call us for anything. God Bless.

Dear Tony and family and Donna, Larry and I are very sad to hear about Julie's passing. She was a wonderful lady and good friend. I loved hearing her laugh! So thankful that I went over and visited with you at St. Mary's fish fry; the last time I talked to her. I remember how you two met because of your love for horses and was very happy to see you get married! I remember my mom Ruby saying before the baby shower, "Julie is going to have twins! There are two babies!"
Our hearts are full of sadness this week at the unexpected death of my dad’s sister, Julia Ann. We said our I love yous and goodbyes to her on Friday. I will always remember my aunt Julia as a lovely lady who had a smile and laugh that was contagious. She was classy and fussed about her hair, just like her mother. She alway smelled like she had just stepped away from the perfume counter at the department store and wouldn’t go to town without “putting on her face”. She had a huge heart for animals and a passion for training and showing horses. She even taught me how to saddle and ride on my own and when I would visit her and ‘Shara’, a beautiful tan and white maned quarter horse was mine to tend to during my stay.
I’ll always remember Thanksgiving dinners in Kentucky and Michigan and that the smell was heavenly. Somehow she seemed to magically replicate the fragrance of her mother’s holiday kitchen. The house was always full of busyness while everyone would scramble from early morning to mid-day to make as much food as possible for the holiday table and the men, grandkids and cousins would sneak bites of stuffing, olives, and occasionally dip a finger into the buttery, hot mashed potatoes. I can hear her now, yelling at my dad in her thick Michigan accent, “Robert, stop thaaaat! ...Somebody set the table! ...Do we have everything?” And after we would all settle in at the table there would be an inevitable shriek, “Oh craaap! I forgot the (insert food item or utensil here)”. Holiday dinners were loud and crazy with a lot of laughter and colorful language and they will forever be changed and touched with sense of emptiness because Julia’s larger than life presence is gone.
We will continue our holiday traditions and family gatherings and we will do our best to honor those Wolfe-Chamberlin family recipes, but we will not be complete and we will be one less loved one at the table because the matriarch of the Wolfe-Chamberlin family has left us. Aunt Julia Ann, goodbye for now. I will always love and miss you dearly.
Your niece,
Annie
