Julia was welcomed to heaven by her maternal grandparents, Nancy Rose and Sherry (Max) Housler; her paternal great-grandparents, Julie and LaVern Horton; and by her favorite pets, Bo Bo, Hogan and My My.

Friends will be received from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday (Nov. 5, 2022) at the Mark F. Rinker Funeral Home & Memorial Service, Inc., 9 Bull St., Cuba, at which time a memorial services celebrating her life will be held.
