Julie and I were friends and tennis partners. She was a fierce competitor, always a great sport, and so much fun to be with. I cherish the way she loved others with big-hearted gestures of service. She was an encourager. She spread kindness wherever she went. She loved others well. Her smile radiated the joy that came from within her. In one of our last conversations, Julie told me how excited she was about  Stephen Ministry-a ministry  committed to walking alongside people in crises. Julie encouraged me in my faith and was a special friend.  I'm sure going to miss her.  Sending love to her dear family-

Ms. Julie was a wonderful, positive, jovial, calm, pleasant person who loved to smile and bring joy to those around her.  Wishing my best to the Blanchard family.

I became acquainted with Julie as we shared our love for tennis and played together on the same team for several seasons. We won some we lost some. She just enjoyed being outdoors, playing a great game, and being with her friends that loved her beautiful spirit.  We often said she ran like a bunny:  fast and untiring. Her Christian witness, her love of family, and friends is her legacy. We will miss you sweet Julie.  Prayers to family and friends for comfort, and strength , and precious memories. 


Julie,  a beautiful lady inside and out.  I see her eyes shinning and warm smile.  Her little feet would scurry  across the tennis court.  I wish  Bobby and the boys peace in your hearts.  Prayers sent your way. 🙏

We have great memories of Sitting on the beach with Julie watching all the boys surfing. She was always cheerful and welcoming.  We are so sorry for the families loss and our thoughts and prayers are with them. 

I will miss you!!  We shared much and we prayed for certain things together. I already miss your sweet reassurance and spirit.  I can’t imagine how Bobby and your  boys feel. You’re on the other side and I wonder if it’s everything we thought and believed.  Godspeed and fly high sweet girl.  Every now and then, give us a sign. 💞

Although I was a recent friend and neighbor, and only had conversations with Julie in her driveway (CoVid), she was right from the start, warm, caring and compassionate.  We talked about her two pups, her lovely garden, tennis, and my adjustment to the south.  She made me feel welcome and a part of the block.  I will miss her spirit here.  To her family and close friends - you were clearly blessed to know her, and her absence must feel like such an aching void.  But no doubt she lives in you now.

Oh sweet Julie, you will be forever missed! You brought sweet Joy and happiness to everyone around you! Being with you in Bible study and your love for God, Family and friends was so beautiful! your precious spirit and that sweet laugh will forever be remembered. Thoughts and Prayers for Bobby, Boys & Family❤️Love you!

Julie always always had a smile to share.  She was someone I always looked forward to talking to.....so kind and so funny.  She instantly made you feel comfortable and a part of her world.  We will miss her beautiful and kind smile and kind heart.  

Prayers for Julie's family. Such a wonderful woman who loved her family, her friends and the Lord without reservation.  She was an angel here on earth. Her kind and loving spirit will be missed. God bless Bobby, Todd, Kevin and Nolan and her whole family.

Ed and I loved Julie and her dear family. We knew her sweet and funny  disposition to be contagious and consequently always felt happier every time we were in her presence. 
We grateful for having known her and for her love of the Lord. We send our heartfelt condolences to Bobby and their family. 


I am so sadden by her death i don't know what to say except we played tennis together about a month ago and won of course  amd I will. It's her deeply!!! 

Julie has always been a sweet lady.  I am wishing you, your sons, and The whole Blanchard Family love and prayers.

Shocked and saddened. 
Rest well my friend.
😔♥️☮️
To the family... Please accept my heartfelt sympathies.

Bobby and family. So sorry about Julie. May she Rest In Peace. Will really miss her. Remember the Lord is kind and merciful and He will comfort you.  

What a graceful, funny and kind lady the world has lost and heaven has claimed.   We will miss Julie and will remember how considerate and gentle she was in how she dealt with people and how you always felt good around her.  She just had that unusual ability to bring peace with her and brighten the whole room with her presence: a very special lady in a truly beautiful and wonderful family.  

There is a reason Julie was born on Christmas Day.  She was a GIANT gift in a small package.  Condolences and prayers to Bobby and all family and her many friends.
