A life filled with creativity, compassion, and a deep love for animals
New SlideshowsWhile living in Scottsville, a man drove a mule cart past the house each day.
Julie once quietly climbed onto the back—without anyone noticing.
How long was she missing?
Julie was a strong-willed girl who preferred cowboy boots to frills.
Once, while watching her parents argue, her dad turned and asked what was wrong.
How did she respond?
When her 14-year-ols son, Al, got a motorcycle, Julie’s love of adventure and connection
with him took over.
What did she do?
Julie created a small farmette in Broadway, filled with life — horses, dogs,
fancy fowl, angora goats, and rabbits.
What was the name of her first horse?
She played piano, sang in the choir, and even became certified in pastoring—
eventually sharing messages of faith through her own sermons.
What drew her to this work?
Julie’s creativity showed up everywhere—from photography to knitting and fiber arts.
What did she do with wool from her goats and fur from her rabbits?
Julie loved to sing. She would sing her son, Al, to sleep at night, while rubbing his back.
She especially loved to sing folk songs.
What singer did her voice most sound like?
“What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes a part of us.”
