Julianne Christina Silva

Julianne Christina (Casey) Silva, age 63, of White Bear Lake, passed away peacefully on September 23, 2025. She battled Parkinsonism for several years. Born in Minneapolis on June 28, 1962, Julianne lived in Rogers, Arkansas and Roseville, MN before settling in White Bear Lake. She is survived by her mother Carolyn Hokkanen-Hawkins; her sister, Jilayne Salisbury; her children, Christina (Brian) Sans Crainte, Quinn Casey, and Craig Casey; and her grandchildren, Finley Sans Crainte and Izzy Casey. And we can't forget the housecat, Bellaluna.

Julianne worked for many years as the Catering Coordinator at Panera and loved her customers and co-workers. She was an avid Razorback football fan from her years in Arkansas (Go Hogs!). She also loved spending time relaxing with family in Duluth, Minnesota. Julianne found joy in searching for agates on the North Shore of Lake Superior, taking photographs of sunrises on early morning walks, listening to live music, curling up with a good mystery book, and baking her favorite pumpkin cranberry orange bread. She will be deeply missed.

A special thanks goes the caring staff at Estates at Linden in Stillwater, MN for the loving care they provided in her time of need.

A celebration of her life will be held at the White Bear Lake Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 2595 Buffalo St, White Bear Lake, MN on October 1st at 4:00pm. Refreshments and fellowship will follow at Boatworks Commons, 4495 Lake Ave So, White Bear Lake, MN.
