Miss Julie Marie Greim

Julie Marie Greim of 215 Saddle Hill Drive died Saturday, August 21, 2010 on I-91, in Meriden as a result of a tragic accident. Born October 2nd, 1988, Julie is the beloved daughter of William and Ellen Greim of Guilford and the sister of Laura and Kelsey. Julie was a 2007 graduate of Guilford High School, and was employed by SARAH of Guilford where she found her niche in life caring for adults with varying abilities. Julie was happy to get up and go to work each day while sensing the needs of others and having the unique ability to respond with great care and compassion. She put others before herself, as she loved what she was doing. Julie had a great passion for the arts and was an extremely talented artist with an eye for all things beautiful. She also worked for a number of years at Vera Wolf in downtown Guilford. She enjoyed helping her family and friends on special occasions with their hair and makeup. Jules had a very creative mind, and loved to express it in her writing poetry. She loved music, acoustic guitar and singing and was president of the Guilford High School Chorus in her senior year. In high school, she enjoyed playing on the girls' ice hockey team, where her family was very active. Julie skated along with her sisters, Laura and Kelsey. Her mother, Ellen, would regularly host huge brunches for the entire team, nurturing Jules' spirit for the game and creating memories for all involved. Julie cherished spending time at her family cottage in Clinton, collecting sea glass and taking in the beauty of the ocean. Along with being by the water, she loved going on hikes. She enjoyed photography and had a great eye for her subjects, bringing forth the splendor in all she viewed. She lived her life to the fullest, and shared her vitality and love of family, including her sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Julie was a loving human being with a carefree, kind spirit. She loved spending time with her boyfriend, Eddie, and her friends. She had an infectious smile that would light up any room and she will be deeply missed. We take comfort in knowing that Julie is at peace in Heaven among angels.
