Julia Elizabeth Stewart

It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness that we announce the passing of Julia Stewart, who left this world peacefully on May 15, 2025, surrounded by her children who loved her most. Born on June 28, 1969, in Essex, London, Julia brought brightness and warmth to every chapter of her life, and to every life she touched.

The daughter of Sue and Chris Bird, Julia grew up with an irrepressible spirit and a spark that never dimmed. She went on to travel the world with grace and style, finding early success as a model—most notably as a Pepsi model in Australia. But for all the glitz and glamour of her career, Julia’s truest joy came not in front of the camera, but in the everyday moments she cherished with her family.

Julia had a magnetic personality and a witty sense of humor. A lover of 80’s music and a loyal fan of the TV show Absolutely Fabulous, she appreciated life’s quirks, laughed loudly, and always found joy in the details others might miss. Her laughter, and her big heart will be sorely missed.

Julia was a devoted and loving mother to four children, and her heart beat most fiercely for them. She is survived by her beloved children James, Beth, and Bobby, and is now reunited in peace with her cherished son Callum, who passed away on December 26, 2022—a loss that remained etched in her soul.

She is also survived by her parents, Sue and Chris; her sister, Liv, with whom she shared a lifetime of memories; and her friends whose lives were brightened by her presence.

Julia's legacy lives on in the hearts of her family, in every shared memory, and in every song from her beloved 80s that brings a smile.

May she now rest in peace, reunited with her son, forever held in love.
