In the words of a young friend, "Juliana has been a wonderful teacher, amazing mentor and dear friend, not only for me, but for the many lives she touched through the years, both human and horse."

Juliana was always prepared to help students and young people, never forgetting to visit older friends and family.

Juliana had a love of the ocean. As a student she was a member of the PJC Sailing Club. In later years she joined an oceanographer friend to help with marina minerals research at Johnson Atoll, and a cephalopod ecology cruise in the Hawaiian Islands. They explored the Galapagos and the Samoan islands together.

May her memory be eternal.
