Julia Anna (Maciag) Lind was born April 27, 1920, in Bellows Falls, VT., the ninth of 12 children.
Her youth was spent in Holyoke, Mass., where she attended the local schools and high school. Following high school graduation, Julie enrolled in nursing school, where she earned her registered nurse degree.
In 1943, she enlisted in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps, serving stateside during World War II. She completed her tour of active duty in 1946 and was honorably discharged as a first lieutenant from Fort Dix, N.J.
On April 21, 1946, Julie became the bride of Theodore "Ted" Lind in Walla Walla, Wash., before the couple moved to Klamath Falls, Ore. She continued her career in nursing before starting her family of three children in 1948.
She was active in the Sacred Heart Catholic Church until 2001 when Julie and Ted moved to the brand new Shore Pines Assisted Living facility in Gold Beach, Ore.
Julie went home to her Lord on Dec. 17, 2012, surrounded by loving caregivers of Sea View Memory Care and her daughter.
She was preceded in death by her husband Ted in 2003 after 60 years of marriage.
Survivors include one sister Genevieve Alexander of Indian Orchard, Mass.; son and daughter-in-law Ken and Debbie Lind of Wallowa, Ore.; daughter Sandie Abts of Charlevoix, Mich.; daughter and son-in-law Sue and Ed Kammer of Gold Beach; grandchildren Lacey Lind Doede, Jeffrey Lind, Stephanie Abts, Chris Abts, Michelle Kammer Majchrzak and Jennifer Kammer; and six great-grandchildren.
At her request, a memorial mass will be 12:10 p.m. Friday at St. Charles Catholic Church in Gold Beach. Graveside services will be in Klamath Falls at a later date.

Susan, Ken, & Sandy... the Ricci family sends its condolences from Massachusetts.
I fondly remember Aunt Julia and Uncle Ted from visiting them as a kid in Klamath Falls to their trips to see my Grandmother Sophie back in MA in the 1980s & 90s. Our thoughts and prayers are with your families.

Susan, Ken, & Sandy, so sorry to hear of Julie's passing. Ted & Julie were the best neighbors when we all lived in Klamath Falls! I remember our parents talking over the hedge that divided our properties during the summers! Great picture of her.
