Julia was born to Rose and George Pawliw on April 20, 1928 in Glaslyn, Saskatchewan. Today the strongest limb has fallen from our family tree. Julia crossed over to be with the Lord peacefully in her home with her daughter Sherry holding her hand. Julia fought a hard and courageous battle with cancer for the last three years beating all odds, and surprising us all everyday. Julia is survived by her three children son Charles (Cindy) and their children Jolene and Justin; daughter Sherry (Skip) and their two boys Tyler and Cory and her youngest son and her favorite Scott (Barb) and their children Chad, Charmaine, Christopher, Cassidy, and Cody and eight great grandchildren. Julia is also survived by two of her brothers George and Myron; and two sisters Elsie and one other. Julia was predeceased by her loving husband Harry in 1969; her parent's Rose and George; her brothers Eddie, Fred, Carl and by her sisters Carrie, Olga, Kay and Helen. Julia's has left very special memories with all her grandchildren especially her two youngest Tyler and Cory for being the best Baba anyone could have asked for. Julia will be missed by everyone who knew and loved her dearly the memories created will be cherished and lovely shared by generations to come. The family would like to a say special thank you to Julia's Home Care nurse Doreen McKinnon. You were a blessing in our mom's life thank you for three years of dedication, help, listening and caring for our mom.
