"The 4-H program, especially in Adams County, mourns the loss of a mentor and friend to many that she knew. Julie affected the lives of countless 4-H members as she served as a judge for the 4-H General Show and also as a Superintendent for the 4-H Sheep and Goats Show. Those duties were merely titles and does not take into account the impact and interactions she made in all aspects of 4-H as she assisted whenever and where ever was needed. She is and will forever remain a positive role model for youth and for the 4-H program as well. We are blessed to have her serve Adams County 4-H in such a heartfelt capacity. Our thoughts and prayers extend to the family. Thank you for sharing your time with her and Julie we will miss you!"
In loving memory of
Julie Schullian

Now, she is celebrating her new life with God and all her relatives who have gone before us. God be with all of you. Sister JoAn Schullian, a cousin in Decatur, IL "
