Julie was born in Inglewood California in 1962 and lived in Torrance California. She graduated from Bishop Montgomery High School and El Camino College where she met her husband and was married in 1987. After getting married, she moved to Orange County in 1988 to start a family.

She was a bubbly mother of 4 boys, outgoing and always the life of any gathering. She loved music and was musically talented with her voice. She dearly cared about her family as a devoted wife, mother, sister and daughter but her life long illness prevented her from fulfilling her life long dreams. One of her passions besides traveling to Hawaii for vacation or watching re-runs of I Love Lucy was being an Avon sales representative where she enthusiastically enjoyed collecting Mrs. Alby awards every year for her sales performance and dedication.

As a loving wife, Julie never extinguished that flame of love from her heart no matter how difficult her times were. She is survived by her husband Marcel of 27 years, four boys: Andrew, Austin, Aaron & Alex, a sister Lisa Shank and mother Iris Braschuk. May she rest in peace in god’s loving arms to suffer no more but to smile and watch upon us from heaven….In lieu of any flowers, please make any donations to your local Alcoholics Anonymous chapter.
