Julia Kalman

Julia was born in Ozone Park, New York, and remained a proud New Yorker.

Julia is preceded in death by her loving husband of 52 years, the late Frank J. Kalman.

She leaves behind her son, Francis S. Kalman and beloved daughter-in-law, Gloria Kalman; granddaughters, Lauren Kalman Summerville and Jennifer Kalman Fuentes, their husbands, Scott C. Summerville and Javier A. Fuentes; and four great-grandchildren all of Houston.

Julia’s life was centered around her love of family and baking. She will be remembered as a loving mother, Nana, sister, aunt and friend. Julia cherished her 15 years of volunteer work at the Kingwood Medical Plaza. She was quick to make friends laugh and enjoyed life to its fullest. She will be deeply missed.
