Julia was married to the late Arnold T. Nappi for 44 years. They were married on June 28, 1958, and together built a family life grounded in devotion and enduring love.
Julia is survived by her sons, Michael and his spouse Jennine, and Thomas and his spouse Christine; her grandchildren, Josie, Mirella, GiGi, and Luke; and her great-grandchildren, Nathaniel and Sebastian. She is also survived by her sister Chickie, and was predeceased by her sister Millie.
In her daily life, Julia brought people together with warmth and ease. A true social butterfly, she found joy in bowling, cooking, and the simple pleasure of being surrounded by others. She loved to dance, and carried herself with a distinctive sense of style—always a fashionista, full of life, and unafraid of a little sparkle, whether in her jewelry or in the way she moved through the world.
A woman of faith, Julia was deeply religious and attended church every Sunday, a steady practice that reflected the quiet strength and reverence that guided her throughout her life.
Julia will be remembered with respect and affection, for the brightness she brought to those around her and the lasting presence she leaves within her family.
