She graduated from UGA in 2011 with a B.S. Degree in Economics. Julie was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority where she formed many lifelong friendships. After graduating, Julie lived in Washington, DC, where she found success as a marketing analyst. In 2019, Julie moved home to Monroe to marry the love of her life, Alan. On January 6, 2021, Julie and Alan welcomed John Alan who completed their family.       

Julie was preceded in death by her grandparents, Allene Tonore Zambie and James A.

Julie was a woman of many accomplishments, but to her, nothing was more important than her family. Her favorite pastime was enjoying the company of her family at Caney Lake. Julie was fiercely loyal, genuine, and kind. She had a strong sense of self and was a natural leader. She was magnetic, which yielded many lifelong friends. Julie brought the same ferocity to her marriage and her role as a mother. Julie touched the lives of many, and we are all better people because of her.   

Pallbearers will be Chris Zambie, Jonathan Peters, Ben Dean, John Duffey, Thomas Boggs, Steven Moses, and Ross White.
