Julene was a beloved wife and sweetheart to her husband and a wonderful caring mother to her children. She devoted her life to taking care of her home and family.
Her faith in the Lord was unshakeable and her strength and inspiration brought many people to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. During her fight with cancer she always gave all the glory to the Lord whenever she received a complement on her strength and beautiful countenance.
Julene never met a stranger and she was deeply loved by all who met her. Julene will always be remembered for her beauty, her zany sense of humor and her enduring zest for life. She will be deeply missed by her loving family and her many wonderful friends. She will also be greatly missed by the family dogs, Duke and Rosco.
