Julie Ann Orick, age 54, of Cincinnati, Ohio, peacefully departed this life on Sunday, February 8, 2026. Born on October 5, 1971, in Cincinnati, she was the cherished daughter of Duel Maxie and Betty Ruth Wolfe (nee Phillips).
Julie's spirit will live on through her beloved husband of 30 years, James Orick; her son, James Orick; her daughter, Megan (Zach) Staley; her son, Kyle Orick; her dear friend, Jeff Heller; and a multitude of family members and friends who were fortunate to know her.
For 25 years, Julie dedicated her career to serving others at the IRS, a testament to her unwavering work ethic. She had a vibrant personality, with a particular love for Halloween, celebrating the occasion year-round with enthusiasm and joy. Julie also had a fondness for elephants and adored all of her dogs, but most importantly, she cherished spending quality time with her family.
