Julia & John are members of Grace Baptist Church, Eustis. She was affectionately known by her loved ones as “GG” since she said she was too young to be called a great grandmother. Her favorite hobbies were visiting with family & friends always with a smile on her face & a funny joke to share and going to thrift shops & yard sales finding the deal of the day.
