She treasured her bond with her baby brother, Sheldon, who she affectionately called ‘Shelly.’ Along with Karl and Karen, each of her siblings meant so much to her and she was incredibly grateful for the strong relationships with them all. Julie was a spiritual and blessed woman of God. Her early Christian upbringing was at the First Apostolic Church in East Baltimore. She believed in the power of prayer, and her relationship with God was personal, intimate, and authentic. When Julie decreed and declared a thing, it manifested. Psalm 91 personifies Julie’s unwavering faith and assurance that God protects her and He would never leave nor forsake her.

Julie exemplified Phillipians 4:13, “I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me” in all aspects of her life – both in motherhood and in her career. She successfully balanced the two and often took her daughter to work. Despite entering a field with very few women and people of color at the time, Julie worked her way through the ranks within the insurance industry.
