Julie Ann Ewert

Julie Ann Ewert, 44, of Hurst, Texas, passed away on October 2, 2023. She was born August 15, 1979, in Corpus Christi, Texas, to Bill and Nancy Ramage.

After living in both Corpus Christi and Wichita Falls as a young child, Julie's family settled in Fort Worth in 1987. She loved art, fashion, and shopping, and jumped at the chance to put them all to work with a Fashion Merchandising degree from Wade College. She and her sister chose an apartment for its proximity to campus but got a big bonus when she met the love of her life, Michael Ewert, who also lived there. Six years later, they were married on October 15, 2005. Their boys, Jonathan and Ben, soon followed.

Julie was a mom and wife, first and foremost, and she loved doing and being a part of anything that reinforced those roles. This included surrounding them with family, friends, and a community she loved. She was a dependable volunteer at the church and schools for more than 10 years, with titles to include: music director, room mom, PTA volunteer (President, Council Delegate, Yearbook Chair, Communication Chair, and VP Hospitality), Sunday School teacher, Stephen Minister, and photographer (unofficial, but you could count on her to be there with her camera). A lifelong passion for music also led her to teach piano lessons in their home.

If there was laughter, you could be sure Julie was at or near the source. She could (and would) sing without warning (from The Beatles to Beastie Boys) and dance like no one was watching. She was a light in any room and knew how to love people - through laughter, gifts, and/or Mexican food. This was evidenced by the long list of those she called 'friend.'

Julie is preceded in death by her parents, Bill and Nancy Ramage; paternal grandparents, Dale and Leola Ramage; maternal grandparents, Norman and Rosemary O'Brien; and father-in-law, Theron James Ewert.

Julie is survived by her husband, Michael Ewert; sons Jonathan and Benjamin Ewert; sister Amy (Waylen) Day of Burleson, Texas; mother-in-law Pat Ewert of Dallas, Texas; sister-in-law Anna Marie (Bryan) Ewert-Pittman of Rowlett, Texas; brother-in-law James (Debbie) Ewert of Ellicott City, Maryland; nieces Scarlet and Hazel Day; and nephews Will and Cason Day. Julie is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family who loved and will miss her immensely.

A celebration of Julie's life will be held on October 11 at 1 p.m. at First United Methodist Church of Hurst at 521 W Pipeline Rd, Hurst, TX 76053.
