Julia was born in Georgetown, OH, to the late Jack Junior Stowell and Gladys Gloria Henderson Stowell. She was preceded in death by a brother Michael Stowell.

Julie was a wonderful lady. She could be found making great food in the kitchen, such as her Lasagna. She loved hard and was always willing to greet you with a smile. Julie was a coach for her children having coached softball and soccer. You could always find her with her family and being an encouraging grandmother. Julie traveled many miles watching all her grandchildren play sports. She enjoyed watching the Cincinnati Red’s play ball and cheering them on. Most of all, she loved the role of being a wife, mother, and grandmother. There was never a moment that she didn’t brag about all of her family. She truly loved hard and big.
