She served on many committees with the Cape Coral Association of Realtors, spending a great deal of time serving on the Grievance Committee. Julie was the consummate Mom.

    To Frank, Nicole and family, Julie was a very special cousin to me. She was a very big inspiration to me during my teen years. We were very close. She was so nice and kind. I especially remember Julie and Frank taking Suzanne from Cumberland to Florida with them and then Suzanne married Charlie. Julie was like a second mother to Suzanne. Thanks for that. I/we will miss Julie very much but will cherish the fond memories of her and the times we spent together.

    To Julie’s Family,
    I have fond memories of Julie.
    Myself and family were blessed
    to live in three (3) properties that she and her husband Frank
    Managed in the 1980s and the
    1990s. They were a Great Management Team!
    Having moved back to
    Florida from New York State in
    the mid-1980s, I was grateful to be able to find the properties to rent that I did with Julie’s help.
    I never forgot her and called her to inquire about properties with her a couple of times after leaving the area.
    On 2/11/2021 I was led to do a
    Google Search of her and had no idea that evening that she would pass away 3 days later.
    I was sad to find out that she passed away on 2/14/2021.
    My heart felt condolences to Frank and The Family.
    I never forgot Julie through the past years and will always remember her, during the coming years. She was
    always kind & professional.
    With Fond Memories,
    Deep Sadness and Much Love.

    Condolences to my cousin, Fran and family. You had many productive years together and I know they were filled with joy, along with ups and downs. Far away, but still in our thoughts.
