Please join us in honoring and remembering Julie Joette (Palmer) Fry, a beloved figure whose life was a testament to the enduring power of love and family. Julie who was born on November 6th, 1957, passed away unexpectedly on November 26th, 2023. As a native of Arizona, Julie's final years were spent in the picturesque community of Parks, Arizona surrounded by the natural beauty she so dearly loved. Julie took great joy in watching the diverse wildlife near her rural home.

Julie's life was a rich tapestry woven with deep affection and unwavering commitment towards her family. She is survived by her loving mother Adrienne Risk, her caring brother Steven (Robin) Palmer, sister in-law Rebecca Palmer, and three beloved sons Joshua (Jennifer), Steffen (Sarah) and Joseph (Tonya) Schulte and their families. Julie had eleven cherished grandchildren and five great grandchildren that she loved dearly. Her extended family of nieces, nephews, and their children also held a special place in her heart.

She was proceeded in death by her father Jason Palmer, her Stepfather Richard Risk and her older brother Jason Palmer II.

A true caregiver at heart, Julie's kindness extended beyond her human family. She had a passion for caring for her pets which included her dog, and three cats. Her compassionate nature was most vividly displayed in her dedication to caring for her own mother until the very end while continually embracing family members who just needed to hear her voice and her perspective on some of life's greatest challenges.

Among the many things that will be remembered about Julie is her love for all things purple, reflecting her peaceful and calming spirit despite life continually presenting her with challenges along her life's journey. Her beautiful smile will be remembered as an ever-present symbol of her loving and warm nature and will be profoundly missed.

As we say goodbye, we celebrate Julie's life, which was rich in compassion, joy and love. Her memory will continue to inspire and guide us.  In our hearts, Julie's legacy will forever be a beacon of the beauty and warmth that a life well lived can bring.

Services will be held on Thursday, December 7, 2023 at Norvel Owens Mortuary. Visitation from 12:00 – 1:00 pm; funeral service at 1:00 pm. Burial will follow at Citizens' Cemetery.
