Julia loved being in the kitchen both baking cookies and pies and cooking big homemade meals to serve her family and even the neighborhood including her famous seven layer salad. Julia had a big heart caring for others from people with special needs for 20 years to friends in the neighborhood. Their door was always open especially on the holidays so no one would ever be alone. Everyone knew her as “Big Momma.” A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
