Julie was born on March 22, 1959 and despite being in her 60's, she was known by many to stop counting her age at 29 and will forever be that age. She was the daughter of Salvatore and Jesuela (LoBello) Calogero. Julie was a 1977 West Genesee High School graduate and received her LPN license from BOCES.

Besides her children, Julie's greatest source of pride was her nursing license. She worked at Community General Hospital and in later years provided compassionate home care to many.

Julie and her husband Robert, own RJ Jewelers in Auburn, NY. She loved spending time with her family and friends, traveling, singing and crafting. Her kindness, positivity, contagious laugh, and spontaneous conversations made strangers into friends quickly. She was a communicant of Sacred Heart Church.
