Julie was born December 10, 1942 in Richmond, VA to Florence Green and Frank Leonard Weiland. They moved to Nashville when she was six weeks old and she was a lifelong Nashvillian with a brief stay in Cumming, GA.
She graduated from West End High School in 1960 and had a love of the school that continued throughout her life. She was instrumental in the founding and development of the Alumni Association and participated in all of the events of the group.
Julie followed her family involvement in education in Nashville with a thirty year career at Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools. She served as the Executive Assistant to the Director of Schools. Upon her retirement in 2007, she moved to Cumming, GA to be near her son and his family. She moved to Hendersonville in 2010.
