In 2002, Julie married Richard Jurgens. They spent 21 wonderful years together. Julie was incredibly giving and selfless. She enjoyed caring for every person that she came into contact with. An example of this care included home health work which was her passion.

Another passion of Julie's was caring for animals. The family always had several pets in the home, primarily dachshunds which she loved. She also had a deep love for horses, including her very own horse April.
