Julie had long, beautiful hair, incredible blue eyes, and a stunning smile that we didn’t get to see enough of. She was always a champion of the underdog and eager to help people with their problems. Julie loved to roller-skate, dance, listen to music, go on long walks, and scrapbook. She loved plants and flowers, especially roses and lavender. Julie loved to study languages and was an accomplished linguist. She loved to travel and had visited Europe several times. She had numerous pen-pals throughout the world, with whom she maintained correspondence for many years. Julie was a brilliant student, an ardent journal writer, and enjoyed writing poetry. Julie loved to collect vintage clothing and jewelry, and was an avid photographer. She loved the outdoors and activities such as hiking and biking, but her physical activities in later years were limited by poor health. Julie took great care in decorating her home with beautiful pictures, plants, books, and trinkets. Although these things brought her enjoyment, her greatest love was her precious daughter Jade. Our dear Julie taught Jade many wonderful things, and they enjoyed coloring, counting, reading books, swinging, scrap-booking, and playing games together.
Julie attended Grandview Elementary, Dixon Middle School, Provo High School, where she was a member of the National Honor Society, and Brigham Young University, where she planned to major in French.
Julie is survived by her daughter Jade Esther Stevens, parents Lee H. and Maryann W. Stevens, siblings Michael Trent (Sarah Ashby), David Lee (Sarah Moyer), and Lisa Marie, grandmother Alice B. Wiggins, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. She was preceded in death by grandparents Evan B. and Lucile H. Stevens, and Edward E Wiggins. Julie was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
A memorial service will be held Thursday, May 23, 2002 in the Grandview 13th Ward LDS Chapel located at 1260 W. 1140 N. Provo, from 10:30 am to noon. People wishing to pay respects may arrive from 9:00 am to 10:30 am. Interment will take place at Holden City Cemetery at 2:00 pm, located in Holden, Utah.

I wasn't friends with Julie, but I still remember her and always wishing I could have her gorgeous eyes and hair. Her eyes were the coolest blue color that just seemed to be bright and piercing.
