Juliette Anderson, known affectionately as "Julie," was born in Sacramento, California, on February 21, 1945, the second of three children from Josephine ("Jo") Dreiss Newton Anderson from Cameron, Texas, and William ("Bill") Herbert Barclay Anderson from Greeley, Colorado.
At an early age, Juliette gained a love of the outdoors and a passion for dogs and horses. On the West Coast, Bill and Jo raised registered English Cocker Spaniels, along with three children perpetually surrounded by puppies. Juliette learned English riding and jumping at the academy at the historical Patee Ranch in the heart of Steinbeck Country, Monterey County. When the family moved to Idaho, Juliette's beloved mare "Dusty" followed in tow, joined by a pair of English Cocker Spaniels.
Together the family explored the beauty of Idaho's wilderness. Bill and Jo instilled in their daughter a love of the Old West and the great outdoors. Juliette grew into a pioneer woman at heart. Despite her fascination with the cowboy stories of Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour, she always rode English.
After attending high school in Blackfoot, Idaho and Pasadena, California, Juliette studied at Idaho State University and University of Utah, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts. She pursued post-baccalaureate studies in psychology and sociology at University of Idaho. Later Juliette graduated with honors as first in her class from University of Missouri at Kansas City with a Master of Arts in Counseling. She was elected to memberships in the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi and the International Honor Society in Psychology, Psi Chi.
Juliette received certification from the National Board for Certified Counselors. Specializing in Individual, Marriage & Family Therapy, she served as a Licensed Clinical Professional and Mental Health Counselor, Military & Family Life Consultant, and Certified Specialist in Grief Recovery and Suicide Intervention & Prevention.
Juliette opened her first practice in the medical offices of a doctor of internal medicine. She worked closely with physicians, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and other healthcare professionals. She believed in the importance of integrating counseling with preventive medicine, education, the arts, and the experience of nature in the treatment of the whole person, a healing approach she described as "a hospital for the human heart." At the center of her vocation was her belief that positive and lasting change flows from the experience of unconditional love and grace at work in a person's life. A lifelong dream was achieved when she founded Wellhouse Ranch Ministries to provide counseling services without charge.
Juliette died on April 6, 2021, after struggling with cancer. She is survived by her younger sister, Christine ("Chris") Anderson, an artist and Adjunct Associate Professor now teaching remotely from Moscow, Idaho, and four beloved nephews-Taylor, Brock, Colson, and Brandt-the sons of her late brother, William ("Will") Earle Anderson, II, and his wife Ann.
A funeral service will be held at 2 pm, Saturday, April 24, 2021, at St. Mark's Church, 111 S. Jefferson Street, Moscow, ID 83843, (208) 882-2022.

I´m very saddened to see this. I met Julie in 1994 at the CS Lewis Summer Institute at Cambridge University. She introduced herself to me after I played a little acoustic instrumental for the gathering at the Queens College theater. That was a very fun and cute moment; we even danced under a full moon talking about higher things. We kept in touch for just a few years and then life seemed to get in the way, although I recall trying, unsuccessfully, to connect with her in recent years. I had always hoped to talk again.

I was one of the fortunate people in the world to have Julie in my life as a true and genuine friend. The memory of our friendship and her authentic walk with Christ will always be an encouragement and inspiration.
She will always be treasured.

Juliette, we were friends and sisters for nearly 5 decades, and the history of our friendship is rich and diverse. You were an inspiration to me in your unwavering faith in Jesus, diligent research on medical protocols and the immune system, talent for transforming a space into a "home," and your persistent drive to follow your vision and recreate a world where ideals and sacrificial love is dominant. Walking your journey with you as a housemate and support through your cancer gave me myriad insights and new understandings of the potential of faith and, in the end, the true power of the Holy Spirit to lead and heal in ways we could never foresee.

This world has lost a beautiful lady who made a huge impact on the people fortunate enough to meet Julie. We find comfort knowing she is safe and well in the embrace of her loving Savior, Jesus Christ. We look forward to eternity with her.
We love you, Julie.
