Our joyful, unselfish, loving, imaginative, and elegant wife, mother, sister, nonna and friend died peacefully just as her beautiful garden was beginning to flower.

Whether dancing up a storm at weddings and parties, celebrating life over great food in the company of friends and family, or baking cookies and "money cake" for her grandsons, Julie was always the heart of every occasion.

Lovingly and forever cherished by Ed, her husband of 55 years. Treasured mom of Stephen (Mary), David (John), Lisa (Mark) and Michael (Hilary). Best Nonna ever to her seven grandsons - Andrew, Nicholas, Anthony, Jonathan, Dominic, Dirk and Scott. Dear sister of Albert (Sue) and Bob (Felicity). And loyal friend to all who knew her.

You loved and you were loved. And in the end that is all that matters.
May God's garden be ever more beautiful in your presence.

Friends and family will be received at Kopriva Taylor funeral home, 64 Lakeshore Road West, Oakville on Sunday May 24th from 3-5 pm and 7-9 pm, and again Monday morning from 9:00-10:00 am.

A funeral mass celebrating Julie's life will be held at St. Andrew Roman Catholic Church, 47 Reynolds Street, Oakville on Monday May 25th at 10:30am, with a reception for family and friends immediately following at St.Andrew Parish hall.
