Being a very healthy and active person throughout her life, Julia was always busy and involved in many varied activities. She loved to curl and continued doing so well into her seventies. Gardening, knitting, sewing and especially fishing were also favorite hobbies. Julia was a very loving and caring person who would offer to help anyone in need.
