Julie grew up in Fosterville, TN. A blonde haired, blue eyed, tomboy who was always outdoors. A daddy's girl, never leaving his side. Julanne was her nickname. She told stories of her adventures with her brother, Bobby Ray (Butch). She enjoyed riding horses with her brothers.
She met her devoted husband Odell at a Halloween Party, and they were married for 65 years. They enjoyed fishing trips, and taking vacations to Gulf Shores and Pigeon Forge with family. Julie loved Gospel and Bluegrass music- always attending Uncle Dave Macon Days. She loved to sing and dance in the kitchen. She will always be remembered as the life of every party. Always making everyone laugh, and maybe picking a fight or two. She could whistle so loud, it would silence an entire room. She loved and cared for her grandchildren fiercely, attending every ball game and performance.
Julie is survived by her husband, Edward Odell Dyer; daughters Sheila (Clyde) Edwards, Rita (Gene) Thomas; Grandchildren Andrea (James) Steiner, and Brian Edwards; sister Edith Carpenter; Best friend Mae (Wayne) Windrow.
