She was a graduate of Nathan Hale High School and The University of Washington where her emphasis of study was in dance and theatre arts. Julia, though her life was abbreviated, created a more colorful experience for herself and those around her in a week or a month than many might attempt over years. A beautiful and graceful being, Julia's astonishing and versatile creativity, humor, passion and compassion was a pervasive force. She gave constantly of her creative self in every aspect of her life. She made even daily routine extraordinary. Her home was a lively and warm gathering place for her children's friends, many relatives and family friends. People were drawn to her youthful energy and unique approach to life. Dancer, athlete, sculptor, painter, were just a few ways through which she expressed herself. She was fascinated by the sciences and drew broadly from the world to create her art. Working with her husband as a finish carpenter she was recognized in the field as a skilled artisan. Julia ignited any situation with intellect, creativity and passion. When she walked into a room she was a brilliant presence of incomparable social intensity and uncontainable love. Memorial Services and reception celebrating Julia's life was held at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, December 6th at the Acacia Funeral Home Chapel, 14951 Bothell Way N.E., Seattle. Any remembrances may be made to a trust fund established for her children at any branch of Washington Mutual Bank in Julia's name. ____________________________________________________ Michelle Getty ____________________________________________________ Tami Harvey ____________________________________________________ Gilbert Hooks ____________________________________________________ Chuck Hyneman ____________________________________________________ Cathy (Casella) Pearce ____________________________________________________ Michele Peterson ____________________________________________________ Brad Peterson ____________________________________________________ Bruce Purser ____________________________________________________ Brett Ratti ____________________________________________________ Renae Richards In Memory of Renae Kay Richards Feb. 5, 1958 ~ Jan. 27, 2005 Renae entered into the choir of her Lord Jesus Christ, peacefully, surrounded by her loving family as she passed away suddenly; and was laid to rest February 10, 2005.
