Julie Brewer Obituary
Julie A. Brewer, 94, a cherished member of our Springfield community, peacefully passed away at Ohio's Hospice of Dayton on September 22, 2023. Born on January 6, 1929, in Toledo to Thomas and Gladys Reeve, she began her life's journey in a city environment but later embraced the farming life when she married Elmer Brewer, a dairy farmer. Together, they raised four children: Rick (Laurie) Brewer, Debbie (Bill "Goat") Atherton, Barb Carmichael, and Bill Brewer, who sadly passed away in 1973. She is also survived by eight grandchildren and their spouses, and nineteen great grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to the Boomer Esiason Foundation in support of cystic fibrosis at www.esiason.org. Julie's love for her family, Jersey cows, quilts, and children, along with her fondness for snow, will forever warm our hearts. As Julie would say, "You go do what you have to do and be happy!" A celebration of Julie's remarkable life will take place on Wednesday, September 27th, at 12:00 p.m. at the LITTLETON & RUE FUNERAL HOME, with visitation from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. prior to the service. She will find her final resting place in Ferncliff Cemetery. To view her memorial video, offer online condolences, or order flowers, please visit www.littletonandrue.com.

Julie made this sign for me out of a piece of the old dairy barn siding. A daily reminder for better living. Back in the day, people were always surprised to see her in the company of a long haired, tattooed, leather wearing hellion. All that her and her husband, Elmer, ever saw was a hard worker with a good heart. They always believed in me when most others had written me off. Her and Elmer wrote one of the most supportive letters the parole board had ever received - on my behalf. Forever grateful for the love, support, lessons learned, and work ethic that follow me to this day. Much love!

Julie made this sign for me out of a piece of the old dairy barn siding. A daily reminder for better living. A long time ago, people were always surprised to see her at the fair in the company of a long haired, tattooed, and leather wearing hellion. All that her and her husband, Elmer, ever saw was a hard worker with a good heart. Neither one of them would ever tolerate an ill word said about me. Together, they wrote one of the most supportive letters that the parole board had ever received - on my behalf. Forever grateful for that, many lessons learned, and an ethic for work and life that follows me to this day. Much love! .
