She was known for her beautiful kind, spiritual soul. Julie loved horses and had spent a lot of years owning her own and being involved in the equestrian and riding community.

Julie was also known for her funny side and had great sense of humour. She learned not to take things too seriously and she could always be counted on to make you laugh.
