Julia "Julie" Elaine Young Law

Julie was born July 12, 1957 in Kansas City, Missouri, the 3rd daughter of Sarah Etta English Young and John Edwin Young. She had a special connection with her father and loved sharing his initials.

Julie attended Border Star Elementary School, George Caleb Bingham Junior High, and graduated from Southwest High School in 1975. She joyfully continued her education at Baker University where she graduated in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in physical education. She enjoyed being a member of the Delta Delta Delta Sorority. After graduation, Julie was a member of the 1979 class of the Belles of the American Royal (BOTAR).

Julie married Robert Stanley “Stan” Law on February 27, 1982, and in November of 1991, they welcomed their son, Bradley Joseph Law to the family. Julie and Brad had an especially close relationship. She was a loyal ‘Baseball Mom’ and supportive “Scout Mom” and could be counted on to support both Brad’s and Stan’s interests.

At the time of her death, Julie was happily employed as an Accounts Payable Specialist at the Central Bank of Kansas City.

Julie had a heart of gold, a sports fan’s enthusiasm, a gentle fun-loving spirit, and knew how to make her friends and loved ones laugh. She will be missed by all who knew her.

Julie was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Stan, and her brother-in-law, Nick Tourtellot. Julie is survived by her son, Brad, her siblings Kathie Manda (Gil), Laurie Tourtellot, Greg Young (Eileen), and Chris Young (Stacie), many nieces and nephews, much loved cousins and lots of friends. Julie always had dogs in her life, and the ones she has left behind are white labs, Beau & Bently.
