Julia relocated to San Francisco following the death of her grandmother, Julia Brown. It was there that she met and married the love of her life, Joseph Gary. She lived a wonderful life with Joseph Gary until his death in 1998. After the death of her husband, Julia continued to live and work in San Francisco, California. After countless requests by her family, Julia returned home in February 2017. She established residency in Schriever, Louisiana.
