Obituary for Julie Anne Darnell
Julie Anne Darnell, age 37, of Jefferson City, MO., passed from her mother’s loving arms to the ultimate loving arms of Jesus Christ on Wednesday, April 18, 2018 at SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital.
She was born on July 1, 1980 in Rolla, MO., the daughter of Lloyd “Dick” and Diana (DeShurley) Darnell.
Julie was a beloved member of First Baptist Church where she enjoyed all church activities especially choir and Friendship Singers. She was also an honorary member of the Vietnam Veterans of America.
Julie was an exceptional woman who touched the lives of many people. With her smile and sass, she made countless friends at Day Solutions and Gibbs Center for Independence. She was also known for her participation in Special Olympics, where she won several gold medals in ramp bowling. Julie loved music of all kinds but was especially fond of the Booth Brothers and loved to attend their concerts. To know Julie was to love her, and there was never a day that she wasn’t loved.
