Julie Hoenen Obituary
Lewes-based artist Julie Molyneux Hoenen passed away suddenly at her home June 13, 2014. She was 59.
Born in Paris, Illinois, to Tom and Rosemary Molyneux, Hoenen traveled Europe before attending art school at Montgomery College in Maryland.
Possessed of a lively sense of humor and a lifelong intellectual curiosity, Hoenen pursued art while working as a bartender at Lewes and Rehoboth restaurants.
Hoenen painted items collected from Delaware's beaches before becoming a prolific watercolor artist. She then moved into oils, producing a series of works of the desert southwest which was selected for the 2002 National Arts for the Parks competition. More recently, Hoenen depicted scenes from Coastal Delaware.
Hoenen is survived by her husband of 27 years, Rick Hoenen; her stepdaughter Leah Hoenen; her brother, Mike Molyneux; and her extended family.
A memorial gathering will be held at the Parsell Funeral Homes & Crematorium, 16961 Kings Highway, Lewes, DE on Thursday, June 19, 2014 from 6PM to 7PM.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to the Lewes Fire Department, Inc, PO Box 225, Lewes, DE 19958

It is easy to fall in love with Julie's work. I was privileged to have met Julie nine years ago at the Rehoboth Art League Outdoor Fine Arts Show. It did not take much convincing to purchase one of her fine oil painting pieces of the Delaware coastline. Thank you Julie for sharing the beauty with us through your lens. My warmest thoughts and prayers to Julie's loved ones during this difficult time.
