Grandmother of Paul/Robyn, Aaron, Karen Scarfe and Jennifer Heck, Amy, Ashley and Michelle Erickson, Ashley Erickson, Vincent and Mallery Freeborn, Chanelle and Keegan Simpson. It is with much sadness that family announces the passing of Julia in Lethbridge, Alberta at the Lethbridge Regional Hospital after a challenging battle with vascular dementia. Julia worked very hard throughout her life. Her main employer was Sask Tel as a telephone operator. This job took her and her family to many towns in Saskatchewan where she assisted the telephone company in transforming from manual to automated services. When the family made their way to Saskatoon Julia worked for GWG manufacturing, Shauna Lee Mukluks, CNIB, and Delhaven Lodge. At a later date family will return Julia to her home in Young Saskatchewan where her heart has always been.
