Julionna Nichole DeClue

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Julionna Nichole DeClue, who left this world far too soon on Monday, October 6, 2025, at the age of 25. Julionna, lovingly known as Julie by her family and friends, was born on June 15, 2000, in Farmington, Missouri. She was the cherished daughter of Stanley DeClue and Tracy (Rowden) DeClue.

Julie had a deep love for the outdoors. Whether it was casting a fishing line, tearing through trails on a 4-wheeler, playing softball with friends, or sitting around a campfire under the stars. From a young age, she held a special place in her heart for the times she spent at Life Church with her grandma, Mary Rowden—moments that helped shape her kind spirit and loving heart. Those who knew Julie remember her smile, her laughter, and her deep love for her family and friends. She found joy in the simple things, especially time spent with the people she cared about most.

Julie is survived by her mother, Tracy DeClue and significant other David Cundiff; her father, Stanley DeClue; her brother, Shawn DeClue; her sister, Samantha and husband Jeremy Nethington; her aunts and uncles: Tammy and John Rodgers, Kimberly Rodgers, and Dana and Gary Wood; along with many dear cousins and extended family who will forever hold her memory close.

She is preceded in death by her grandparents, Ernie and Mary Rowden, and Donna DeClue; as well as her uncle, Marty Rodgers.

A memorial gathering in honor of Julie’s life will be held on Monday, October 13, 2025, beginning at 12:00 noon. A celebration of life will follow at 2:00 p.m. at DeClue Memorial Chapel, with Pastor Keith King officiating.

Funeral arrangements have been respectfully entrusted to DeClue Funeral Home. Julie will be deeply missed and forever remembered by those who were blessed to know and love her.
