JULIE ZORN Obituary
March 17, 2019
Our beautiful Julie's courageous battle against cancer ended gently and peacefully on March 19, 2019, as she was wrapped in the love of her family. It was beautiful, just one more gift she bestowed upon us while still on this earth.
Through her colorful and vibrant zest for life, people, animals and travel, she spread endless joy to every corner of this world. She found the inherent goodness in everyone, and we each felt so special, loved and accepted in her presence. Julie touched the lives of everyone she met. From the 7-11 cashier, to the Chinese rickshaw driver, to one of her cherished jail inmates, to a Cuban homeless dog, no one escaped the "sunshine of Julie".
Julie served as an Electronics Technician in the US Navy from May 1990 through March 1997. She joined the Skagit County Jail as a Deputy Corrections Officer in August of 2001. She facilitated a Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Center that became a model for other corrections facilities. She was awarded the Anne Jackson Award by Will Reichardt, then Sheriff of Skagit County, for her consistent and high level of contribution to all aspects of supporting both her fellow deputies and inmates. Her infectious laugh and humor helped all to manage tough days in the jail environment.
A Celebration of Julie's Life will be held at the Lincoln Theatre.

Julie and I had a connection when I was in Skagit county before I got accepted into drug court. I was going through a tough time and she talked me through it. She told me that "it may not seem like it now but there is a light in you that will burn bright. Right now it's just some but you will shine again." I will never forget those words. Julie was a wonderful person she saw the good in people even on their worst of days and it breaks my heart that she is gone. I'm just glad she is no longer suffering. Condolences to her family and close friends
