7/13/1947 - 9/23/2018
Francis Juli ann Mathews was born in Jacksonville, Illinios to parents, Jo Ann Mathews and George Albert Mathews. She was an only child but grew up very closely to her cousin Mary Claire. After high school, her and Mary Claire traveled Europe together for months. I remember hearing stories of my moms travels with her cousin, then her first condo, and also working at the Ground Round.
Her and Mark Lee were married and had 2 children. First, Matt Hale Lee born on Feb/10/1983 then, Megan Mary Lee born on Oct/30/1984. Juli's children were her life. She did everything for her children, including getting a job as a lunch lady at our school Bardmoor Elementary. She soon started working in the ES/EH classroom. She worked at Bardmoor for years, then moved on to Clearwater High School. Everyone loved Miss Juli, she was the lady you went to with your problems.
In 2013, she became a grandmother when Matt had his first daughter. This lit up her life. Grammy was born when Brianna was born. Grammy was a very loving and caring grandmother to our kids. As she grew older, she still went out of her way to make every day care graduation, school concerts, every birthday and every anything that included her grandkids.
Juli was a very bright and charasmatic person. She gave her heart to every single person she came in contact with. She loved her family and friends so deeply. She passed with great friends and a loving family.
