Julie Loreen Zaplotinsky

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beautiful mother Julie Zaplotinsky (nee Stainbrook) on Wednesday August 30th.

Julie was born in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta. Her family made their way to Vancouver Island when she was in her late teens. She enjoyed work as a dispatcher for the RCMP and made some life long friendships there. She quit after she got married to raise her 3 children Bladon, Darryl and Marnel whom she adored. Once her kids got older she joined the workforce again as a legal secretary. She loved helping people while she ran the legal aid program for the remainder of her working career.

Julie was known as a very kind, thoughtful and compassionate person to everyone she met. She loved crafts, music and teaching aerobics. She always talked about the great group of friends she had and how much fun they had during their aerobics classes.

Julie is also a breast cancer survivor, her positive attitude absolutely helped her through her diagnosis and treatments during the pandemic. She was an inspiration to all the Dr's and nurses that helped take care of her and so many she met through the Nanaimo and Victoria cancer clinics.

Our beloved Mom touched a great deal of people throughout her life. She was an amazing mother and friend to us. The memories we have of her will be forever cherished and she will be dearly missed...
