Julie Ann Walczak
Body
Julie Ann Walczak was born to Eternal Life on Friday, December 15, 2023, at the age of 56.
She was born in Milwaukee, WI, the daughter of Donald “Don” A. Walczak and the Late Lorraine A. "Laurie” Walczak (nee Pedlar). She grew up in Milwaukee and was actively involved in the Special Olympics in the sports of swimming, bowling and track and field. Julie spent most of her adult years with her parents on Lake Huron in the Wautoma, WI area. She was actively involved with Waushara Industries as well as the Waushara 4-19 chapter of the Special Olympics. Julie was known for her infectious laugh, her ability to make those who knew her smile and even those who didn’t. She had a flare for the dramatic in both her personality and her sense of fashion. Julie would like to have themes to her outfits whether it was the patriotic American flag, full-on animal prints or a variety of superhero’s; everything would match, head-to-toe. She was a lover of masking tape, pennies, photographs, swinging on her swings, as well as copious amounts of diet Pepsi. Julie was affectionately known as “Goose” or “Snookums” by those who loved her, and her favorite saying was always, “Are you mad at me?” Our token response was, “No, it’s too early” and that always brought a laugh. She was truly a beautiful and sweet soul and was welcomed with open arms by her Mommy.
Julie is survived by her father Donald; sister Tracy (George) Kopf; nieces and nephews Megan Kopf, Ryan Kopf, Jennifer Hans, and Stacey Beistle; great nieces & nephews Layla and Levi Beistle, and Elyse Gladieux. She is further survived by uncles & aunts Roy (Suzanne) Pedlar, and Janice Peterson, Robert (Bobbie), Richard (Barbara), and Thomas (Kathy) Walczak, other loving relatives and friends.
Julie was preceded in death by her mother Lorraine. A visitation will be held on Tuesday, January 2, 2024, from 10:00AM until the time of the 10:30AM, Funeral Service at Wisconsin Memorial Park, Main Building, Chapel of the Flowers, 13235 W. Capitol Dr., Brookfield, WI 53005. Private entombment will be held.
In lieu of flowers, memorials to The Special Olympics, Waushara County Chapter 4-19, would be appreciated. The family will be hosting a Celebration of Life at a later date to be determined.
