Julie was my tennis and pickleball buddy. She was a fierce opponent; she had to 'kill' every ball! She never gave up trying. I do know she was an excellent golfer who held several titles all over the north country.‼️
And then there was food; restaurants and United Helpers. Julie took care of people, my own mom included.always trying to please and make life a little happier-through food!
I can’t believe she’s gone-probably to a large golf course in the sky. Play well Julie! 😘 I miss you.

I was sad to hear about Julie's death. She was such a calming presence during meal time at the nursing home when my mom was there. She had that dry sense of humor and was so kind to all the residents.

Jul, It was a beautiful service. So many from every walk of life, just shows the impact you made on so many lives. Throughout the service I couldn't stop thinking about the time we ran into you at the golf course and you were telling us about mowing your lawn and coming across a snake. Most people would run over the snake with the riding lawn mower or use the mower to get away from it faster. Not you, you jumped off the mower and ran. I'll never forget how hard we laughed. Whether we ran into you the next day or years later, it always felt like we didn't miss a beat. Will miss your smile. You still calling me Bird after 35+ yrs, I will miss that! Keep smiling and laughing.

I knew Julie through golf. She played for Ogdensburg and I played for Canton. There were times at tournaments when there would be confusion as our names were so similar. The Ogdensburg team was always at a loss when she had a conflict and couldn’t play for the team. I remember Julie as someone who always had a friendly smile. I never heard her say anything unkind about another golfer and believe me there were those who indulged in that behavior, but not Julie. She was a talented golfer. I was so sad to hear of her passing. I hope you will take comfort in that she was such a good person.

Jules - it's taken me all week to be able to do this. We shared so much through our ten years of working together - good times and bad - but always friends in the end. From our antics to co-workers to our endless conversations about everything - they forever hold a memory for me. We've laughed, cried - we shared so much with each other. My heart is broke. An unexplainable ache. So much emotion. I will never forget your last words to me in the hospital - when I was going to leave and the Nurse said that you were calling my name. I went back and asked "what do you need Jule" - and you said in the faintest of faintest voices - "I love you Ter" - and I said "Jules - I love you too."
Rest in Peace my friend - run free with Noahie and Sasha
Forever and a day my friend

Julie was a joy on the golf course. We all loved her. She had a generous spirit, an incredible smile, and a true shot. We shall miss her terribly. When Julie brought dessert to our potlucks, she estimated our number with abandon and like the Biblical parable she brought enough for 5,000 with plenty left over. Rest in love, Jules. Mary Allan

On my weekly visit to Riverledge, I used to wheel into the cafeteria with a special resident and Julie was always there to greet her and me. She truly loved the residents and gave them special attention. She was a dedicated daughter and put others first-always. I will miss seeing her. Sincere Sympathy to the entire family and may she now rest in God's peace.

To Julie's family and friends, it was a sad moment when I read of her passing in northcountrynow.com, my connection to NNY in the winter. What fun she was in the days of the Lodge restaurant! As that period passed, I lost contact until I spent time in the UH recuperating from hip replacement. She was a joy to run into in the halls and all the residents enjoyed spending a few minutes with her. My prayers and condolences go out to all of you. RIP, Julie.

Julie was my tennis buddy, my pickleball buddy. I also knew her from United Helpers as she took care of my mom! She was so nice to her, so nice to a friend's brother, so nice....and smiley, and fun.
Julie, I’ll miss you so much. I was hoping to play when we come out of our Covid shells. ❤️

At first she was like a kid sister to me! With time over the years we became the best of friends. We laughed together and cried together. We solved many problems... hers and mine. As time passed, we didn’t see each other often, but when we did, we’d reminisce and laugh pretty hard as we’d go over the same ole stories. So many stories! I thought about you Jules, on my round of golf today! I offered up shots as well.... still couldn’t beat ya! You’re the best my friend! God Speed!💋🏌️♀️⛳️

As unique as the people who form them, true friendships are those built from chance and grown from a place in the heart, where strengths are embraced and faults are accepted. Jules, ours was a friendship that spanned decades from simple conversations to impromptu adventures. You saved my sanity in that ATC class with that crazy professor and you rarely left my presence without casting a smile that made the world smile back. And no matter how many lapses in time that existed between our visits, we always returned to who we were: two friends whose lives were tied to the beauty of our River, to the people that we loved, and the memories and laughter we created involving all of them. As the horn signals a ship's way through challenging waters, we will find a way to signal too, each in our own way, to share the significance you had on our journey. Love ya, Jules.

To all the Lebarge family.
I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Julie she's so young, so beautiful and always full of light and energy. I have many good memories of working with Julie. Julie never seemed to get upset she always had a smile and something positive to say. She will be missed greatly. May all her days in heaven be wonderful and full of her light which will grow brighter I'm sure. May God send down all the comfort to her family at this time. Martha so many hugs.....

I worked at united helpers under Julie for almost 6 years as a dietary aid. She was my supervisor and my friend. As a boss it's a difficult feat to maintain a friendly and personal relationship with your staff. Julie did it effortlessly because she genuinely always wanted to be your friend. It's who she was. I loved when she would pop up randomly on my floor and wander around looking for things to do. It never bothered me because it was Julie and she always made me laugh. I loved how whether she sat with residents at the front desk or coworkers in the cafeteria she never made it feel her time was more important than yours. She listened when you talked. She was one of the best bosses I ever had and was a beautiful soul. She will be loved and missed by all who had the pleasure of meeting her.

I was saddened to hear of Julie’s passing. I am flooded with many memories. I am sad we didn’t get to play our rematch on the links at the reunion that was postponed. I will most definitely think of her every time I step on the golf course and every time someone wants a selfie She always like getting her picture (not) Sending my condolences to the family. Rest In Peace old friend! Heaven just got an awesome golf partner!

My favorite memory ( there are so many) was being so excited to be at camp for the summer and running down to your camp to find Martha and Diane, and there you were ( maybe 5 or 6 years old) and I said Hi Julie, to which I got an awful scowl, and Dee explained that I was not to call you Julie anymore. I asked what should I call You? "Spike" ok, so after all these years, I think I was the only one who still called you that and got away with it. We shared a lot over the years, worked together , but we had a lot of fun playing, too. You will be deeply missed. Love to your family. Bye my friend.
