At an early age she moved to Winnipeg and was employed in various domestic positions. In 1945, she married Peter. They remained in Winnipeg, where their first two children were born, then returned to Eastdale in 1950, later completing their family with twin girls. After Peters passing, she moved back to Winnipeg. A gentle, patient and caring lady, Julia devoted many years of her life to her family. Despite Julias adversities with her health, she still managed to excel at her many talents, which included cooking and baking, canning and pickling, sewing and gardening. She shared her expertise with her family, for which we are all very grateful and will always remember. She enjoyed entertaining, and company was always treated to a great meal and a special care package to take home.
