The Owen family was like my own. Mrs Owen was a great lady. I grew up in Christ UMC with them. Bruce and I were good friends. His Parents were always loving and kind to me. We lost touch after I left for the Marine Corps after High School. I have often thought about you since. I hope Bruce will friend me on facebook.
Julia always added interesting comments and ideas to our Sunday School class in the Chapel and we enjoyed her presence at Circle 1. Always sweet and smiling! I enjoyed knowing her. Betty Roper, First United Methodist Church
Julia was the most gracious person I'd ever met as a child. She always acted like she was so glad to see me and made me feel special even though, I now expect, she did that for everyone she met. Bruce A. Gebhart
My favorite memories of Grandma show her support while we raised our large family. On the June day when we brought home our fifth child, we arrived at our house to discover that Grandma had managed to keep the house all spruced up while babysitting the other children. I took a photo of her exhausted self and forgot to take one of her with the baby. With so many children, things got a little rowdy. I remarked that our house was like a zoo. Grandma replied, "But don't you like going to the zoo?"
Your mom was a great lady and a wonderful person to have raised such remarkable children. We are sorry for your loss.Jim and Suzanne Schwarz
