Julie was born the daughter of Jerald and Elaine (Vada) Sullivan on January 6, 1962 in Sioux City, Iowa.  She graduated from West High School.  She then graduated from WIT and then Jackson University with her bachelor's degree in nursing.  Julie married Michael Jenkins on May 31, 1980.  He was the love of her life and she left several "notes" around saying so.

She managed the operating room, same day surgery, pain clinic, and the PACU at Mercy Medical Center for 20 years.  She had a significant impact on so many lives.

Julie was very artistic.  She was an amazing painter.  She enjoyed quilting, sewing, coloring, and playing bingo.  She had a great eye for decorating and interior design and often gave advice and did room renovations for those that she loved the most.  She cherished the time she spent with her family and grandchildren.  Her grandkids meant the world to her.

Julie is survived by her husband, Michael Jenkins of Sioux City; children, Jennifer (Ron) Eaton of Sioux City, Jerod (Jenn) Jenkins of Sioux City, and Jada Jenkins of Des Moines; siblings, Terry Sullivan of Sioux City, Shawn (Nancy) Sullivan of Sioux City, and Pam (Mitch) Lower of Salix; and grandchildren, Ryan, Jace, Cora, and Chloe.

She was preceded in death by her parents.
