Age 72, of Brooklyn Center, passed away on January 15th, 2021.
Julie was born in Robbinsdale, MN on November 20th, 1948.
She was a self-proclaimed military brat and lived in many cities throughout her life. She will be deeply missed by many.
Julie was preceded in death by her mother, Dorothy Kurzeka; and her best friend, Bonnie Alvarez.
She is survived by beloved boyfriend of 35 years, Steve Ellingson; daughter Stacy Chapman; grandson, Nicholas Chapman; husband, Shane Chapman; sister, Lois (Roland) Sheppard; as well as many other dear relatives and friends.
A celebration of life will be scheduled for the summertime.
Evans-Nordby funeral chapel in Osseo, MN handled my husband’s cremation and Celebration of Life service in July of 2023. I can’t say enough positive things about all aspects of my interactions with them. They reached out to help every step of the way—from planning the Celebration of Life service, the service itself, and after care contact. Brittney was the person I primarily worked with. She was kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, organized, and had great communication skills, which greatly helped in reducing my stress level. I plan to contact Evans-Nordby soon to pre-plan my own final arrangements.
