Julie grew up in Grand Forks, ND and graduated from Red River High School in 1980.

After high school, Julie attended AVTI in East Grand Forks, MN for a Medical Secretary degree. She became a medical transcriptionist and was one of the best. She worked for Grand Forks Clinic, Dr. Pettit, and Dr. Schulz. Most recently she worked for Valley Bone and Joint and North Dakota Eye Clinic. She was a valued employee with a strong work ethic.  She had many good friends through these connections.

She married Randy Keegan in 1983, and they had two boys, Kyle and Cory, which gave Julie her greatest joy. Her passion was her adorable granddaughters, Khloe and Kinsley.  They were her world!

Family time, lake life, trying new recipes and cooking for others were Julie’s favorite activities. She was an avid QVC, HSN and GMA Steals and Deals shopper! If there was a new kitchen tool or cleaning product~ Julie knew about and most likely ordered it.
