With hearts filled with love and gratitude, we celebrate the life of our gentle, loving and kind Mom, Julia Louise Reid Peacock, beloved wife of the late Paul A Peacock.  Julia was 84 years of age at the time of her passing on Monday, August 19, 2024 in Lethbridge, Alberta.  We take comfort in the memories of her beautiful soul and the joy she brought to our lives.

Julia was born on June 19, 1940 in Statesville, North Carolina to the late Raymond Eugene Reid and Edna Louise Coley Reid.  Julia was the second daughter of five children.  She is survived by her siblings Ruth, Earl, and Peggy.  She was predeceased by her sister Kay.

Julia married the love of her life, Paul on December 16, 1960.  They shared 61 beautiful years together before Paul’s passing in 2022.  Their lives took them from North Carolina, to Canada with Paul’s military service in the early 60s.  Upon Paul’s retirement from the Air Force, their travels moved them back to North Carolina, followed by Colorado, Texas, Wyoming and finally settling in Grande Prairie, Alberta in 1982.

Julia leaves to cherish her memory, their children, Larry Wayne (Mikal), Tim (Melony), Kimberly (Murray), Wendy (Rick), Wes (Karen), 13 grandchildren, 24 great grandchildren and numerous other family members in the United States.

Julia loved the outdoors, the mountains, camping, cooking and sharing the love of Jesus.  Family was her greatest joy, especially the babies and children.

Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”
