Julie Aldrich Cerny

August 29, 1947 - May 15, 2015 Julie was born Julie Gale Aldrich to Sam and Jeanne Aldrich, in Los Angeles. After graduating from Palisades High, she obtained a degree in anthropology from San Fernando State College and a Masters in Public Health from UCLA. She loved sharing a meal with friends, music, reading, movies, and so much more. Julie worked at the American Cancer Society as director of professional education. She married Ross Cerny in 1984. As their daughter Laura attended preschool, Julie was asked to join the teaching staff. Julie taught preschool for almost twenty-five years, first at Temple Isaiah Preschool and then at A Kid's Place. Julie absolutely loved working with the hundreds of children, their parents and her co-teachers whom she came to know and love - and she let all of them know it. Julie died following a brief sudden illness. She was always concerned about helping people, nurturing good nutrition and good health for individuals and communities. A donation to either Friends of Zenger Farm or the American Lung Foundation is the kind of thing that would make her smile. Ross and Laura, Julie's sisters Shelley and Susie, her in-laws, nieces and nephews, and so many, many friends, and her cats Bosco and Sprinkle will miss her forever.
