She was born on May 7, 1960 to Donald and Ardena Feils, in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. Julie attended Forest Lake High School and went on to complete her Associates degree at St. Mary's College in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Julie was an amazing wife, mother and grandmother. She enjoyed activities such as golf, pickleball and being on the lake with her family and life-long partner Carroll. She loved to travel to places like Captiva, Florida and Grand Marais, Minnesota with her family where she would often take time to read and spend quality time with her family. Julie was a caring and positive child of God who was strong in her faith. She would attend Adoration on a weekly basis with Carroll and pray the rosary every morning.

One of Julie’s favorite things to do was host her kids and grandkids where she would cook and provide a warm welcoming environment for all to feel loved. She will be remembered for her strong faith, her smile, her laugh that would light up a room and her ability to make others feel so loved and cared for.
