Monticello, AR Wednesday, May 20, 2020 Julie (as I called her) was my boss but she treated me like family. We’ve laughed together, cried together, and had many heart to heart conversations. She was always there for me and has helped me in so many ways. For that, I cannot thank her enough.All of her advice and blunt truths will forever resonate with me.
I am praying for her whole family and all of her friends during this difficult time.
My deepest condolences,
Jessica Quinones

Monticello, AR Monday, May 18, 2020 I have known Julia for years and she was one of my favorite customers ever. I could go in her office at the Valero and we would just sit and talk for hours, mostly about her kids grandchildren and my boys. She will be deeply missed. And I will miss her smile and how she could always make me laugh. She loved her husband, children and her grandchildren deeply. I’ll miss her and my condolences to Darren and her family.Angie Frost
