Julia Bent Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Julia came to the United States in 1962 after marrying her husband, Robert Castor, Sr. Together they had two children, daughter, Victoria Cushman, and son, Robert Castor, Jr., of South Carolina. Throughout the years, she traveled all over the country. She had many talents including speaking two languages and racing cars. Mrs. Bent was a successful business owner of multiple restaurants. Julia's German Stammtisch has been a pillar in the area for 35 plus years. She was a true firecracker, filled with so much life and love. Mrs. Bent was cherished not only by family and friends, but the community. She will be dearly missed by many.
In addition to her children, she is survived by her daughter-in-law, Candace Castor; brother, Roland Kilb (Karen), four grandchildren, Helen Cushman, Logan Cushman (Richard), Mia Atenico, and Jackson Castor; great-grandson, James Cushman; and nephew, Martin Kilb.
A celebration of life will be held privately by the family. Shives Funeral Home, Trenholm Road Chapel, is assisting the family.

Ms Julia was such a lovely person and dear friend. I will always cherish the fond memories of her. Especially our fun times playing bingo with her, my mom and Mr. Frank. She was always the Sparkle in any room she entered.
My thoughts and prayers are with all her family and friends. Ms Julia will truly be missed.
