She held the following titles and positions with grace and dignity; Past Dean of the International Academy of Friendship Board, Past Deputy Grand Regent for Massachusetts and Rhode Island and Co-Chairperson of the Massachusetts and Rhode Island Youth Awareness Program which was closest to her heart.
Julie held-dear, volumes of wonderfully devoted friends.Until her untimely passing, Julie maintained a position as captain on the Senior Ladies Bowling Team and was on the Revere Senior Center Bocce League. She loved dancing and laughing with her friends.
It is ironic that such a petite lady could be responsible for carrying out so many good works for her charitable passions and endeavors.
