Julia Cecile Lane

I worked with Julie at Largo High for 23 years. She was so dedicated and I thought she would teach forever. She was very caring and sensitive to the needs of students. I attended the grave site services on Saturday and met her sister and her dear niece Katie.

I am shocked. I taught next door to Julie for many years. After I retired in 2000, I thought she would be right behind me. But she kept going, trooper that she was. My B-Wing gang has just been diminished by the passing of a colleague, and a friend. God Bless You, Julie; you gave so much to your parents and to your students and to us. Rest in peace..

Julie was a bright light even on a dark day. She was friend and a colleague for 10 years at Largo High. She loved her students and literature. Julie shared her love of the written word with thousands of students in her 41 years here. We share laughs, gripes and even our "Walter Matheau" moments when we couldn't remember his name in "Grumpy Old Men."
Julie is, no doubt, asking Bill Shakespeare about one of his tradgies.
God's Peace, Julie, you are remembered fondly.

I was so saddened at the news that I forgot to place my name,
Barbara Troy Moore, Fine Arts & Photography Department Chairwoman, on the message I wrote Tues. May 20th, 2014

To Julie's family, please accept my sincere condolences at the loss of your dear one.

I have very wonderful memories of Julie! I taught with her at LHS for many, many years. She was always smiling, and happy to be with the students and the faculty, and I know the students loved her, and enjoyed being in her classes. Not all teachers have as wonderful place in the hearts and minds of students. She will be missed but leaves a great legacy of superior teaching to those who follow!

My memory of Julie is brief. I knew her in the 1974-1976 school year of Largo High School. It was my first year of teaching math. Since then I have taught math for 35 years. What I remember is a woman that I could only describe as a teachers-teacher. Commitment, Compassion, Intelligence and a Passion making a difference in a students life. There are some people who exemplify total commitment to the human race...Julie is such a rare person. There are out there on planet earth literally...

CeAnn I just read this I'm so sorry to hear of Julie's passing my thoughts and prayers are with you. I'm so sorry I didn't get down to see her after we saw each other. I'm sure that she is with your parent's and mine and having a grand old time. love always Lynda
