Julie was predeceased by her father Frank Wilsie in 1978, her mother Margaret (Dobranksy) Wilsie in 1991. James Patterson, the father of two of her children, in 1993.

Her sister Susan (Wilsie) Morin, her children and grandchildren. Her husband with whom she was separated but friends, Stanley Slate. Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and close friends. She will be dearly missed.

A private celebration of life is planned. Julie is cremated and her ashes are with her children.
