Julienne Williams

Julie Williams, a beloved sister, aunt, and friend, peacefully passed away at the age of 67 due to natural causes in her home in Seattle, Washington. Her departure has left an indelible void in the lives of those who knew and loved her.

Julie, is survived by her brother, Worth Riley Williams, and his wife, Dana Williams. She held a special place in her heart for her niece, Whitney Williams Rowell, and her husband, Spencer Rowell, and was delighted to be part of their lives as their family expanded. She found immense joy in the company of their three daughters, Stella, Charlotte, and Rory, all of Dallas, Texas.

In addition to her family, Julienne's life was enriched by her loyal friend Susanne Hartsock, who was always there for Julie. Their friendship was a source of strength and support throughout the years, and Susanne's unwavering presence brought comfort to Julie during both joyous and challenging times.

Julie was preceded in death by her father, J.R. Williams, Jr., MD, in October 1973, her mother, Julie Baily (2005) and her stepfather, Ted Baily (2007).

Julie's journey began in Richardson, Texas, where she spent her formative years. After attending the University of Rhode Island, where she majored in Business, Julie decided to move to Seattle, and it was there that she lived the rest of her life.

Julie was exceptionally smart, and her talents were recognized early on. She began her long and successful career at Microsoft in the early 90’s where she made significant contributions to the company's growth and innovation. Julie's career at Microsoft spanned 14 years before she decided to retire.

Upon retiring, Julie embraced her newfound freedom and spent her time pursuing her passions. Travel became one of her great joys, and she explored various destinations across the globe. Some of her favorite travel memories included visiting Venice Beach, California, the serene Adirondacks, and, of course, the beautiful bay area in her beloved Seattle. She found solace in the beauty of nature and cherished every adventure.

Beyond her personal pursuits, Julie had a tender spot for animals. She dedicated much of her free time volunteering at Meow Cat Rescue and PAWS Wildlife Center, where she cared for and nurtured countless furry companions. Her love for animals knew no bounds, and she found great fulfillment in making a positive impact on their lives.

Above all else, Julie adored her three grand nieces. Their presence brought immense joy and happiness to her life, and she cherished every moment spent with them. She traveled to see them as often as she could, and the bond they shared was a testament to the love and affection she had for her family.

Julie Williams leaves behind a legacy of kindness, intelligence, and compassion. Her impact on the lives of those she touched will never be forgotten, and she will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Julie's honor to support Meow Cat Rescue Giving - MEOW Cat Rescue or Feral Cat Spay/Neuter Project https://feralcatproject.org/

Both were causes that were close to her heart.
