Julie Danner Milliken, 75, passed peacefully on January 16, 2022 in the comfort of her home, surrounded by her loving family. Julie was born in New Orleans to the late Daniel Danner and Carolyn Davidson Danner. She graduated from Warren Easton High School in 1964 and worked as a secretary, then later as a realtor until the time of her retirement. She is survived by her adoring husband Tom Milliken; children Karen LeBlanc (Vinny) and Carl Edward Clevenger (Patti); step-children Michael Milliken (Monica), Megan Biven (Ricky), and Shannon Sipher (Evan). Will also be dearly missed by her grandchildren Peyton LeBlanc (Alexis) and Kae Clevenger; step-grandchildren Eliska Milliken, Felix Milliken, and Calvin Biven. Loved by her two sisters Carolyn Lastrapes (Henry) and Jane Smitchger (Jack). Also missed by her devoted companion Wesley.
Julie was a beautiful soul who touched the hearts of everyone who had the pleasure to know her. Her generosity and selflessness were felt by many and she had a gift for making others feel special. She was an avid reader throughout her life and was known for her personal writing talent as well. Through sharing her own poems and providing her thoughts on the art of her peers, she became a beloved member of the online poetry community. Her strength and grace became even more apparent through her battle with chronic illness, and she fought hard to be here for as many milestones in the lives of her loved ones as she could. She taught us how to find joy during even the most difficult of times, and memories filled with her infectious laughter will remain with us forever.
A visitation service will be held on Saturday, January 29, 2022 at Lake Lawn Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd New Orleans, LA 70124. The visitation service will begin at 11:00am until 3:00pm.
