IN LOVING MEMORY

Julie Ann Holden Willems

May 21 1959 - Jul 27 2020

Julie Ann Holden Willems of Allen, Texas, originally from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, passed away the weekend of July 25, 2020.  She was the granddaughter of Umberto Mularoni (wife, Adeline “Lina” Mularoni), and Harold C. Holden (wife, Rose Ann Sheehan Holden). 

Julie was loved by all who knew her.  She was a loving mother, had an indomitable spirit, had a contagious and beautiful laugh, loved children and animals, and was so happy she had the chance to personally meet her new grandbaby, Holden, in June.  Julie was 61 years old.  She had a very successful career as an executive for both Sprint and Arbonne International.  She will be missed by so many.

Julie is survived by her parents, James K. and Joann C. Holden of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan; sister, Andrea Holden Haigh  and husband, Chris of Maui, Hawaii; brother, John J. Holden and wife, Allison of Santa Fe, New Mexico; brother, Paul J. Holden of Mound, Minnesota; former husband, John C. Willems III of Allen, Texas and their four children, Dr. Kaitlin Blankenship (husband, Derek and their baby, Holden) of Worcester, Massachusetts, Riley E. Willems (engaged to Will Elmore) of Madison, Mississippi, Margaret “Maggie” M. Willems  and husband, Michael Worley of Allen, Texas, and John Carl “JC” Willems IV and wife, Bernadette, “Bernie” of Allen, Texas.

The family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Julie’s name to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (www2.jdrf.org/goto/juliew).
