And late in the year on a Friday, November 22, Juli Brown was born. Thus began one of God’s most special stories. The life of a woman who would change every person in this room and many who could not be here today. A life that even now affects eternity itself!

Next Steps

Juli was one of the most humble people any of us every knew. One of the reason we know this is for the simple fact many or most of you don’t know that she was most often the smartest person in the room…she never broadcast how much she knew

She worked as a systems engineer for Lockheed Martin…most of what she did was top secret. She simply told her children that she worked on the parts of the bombs and missiles that made everything go boom!

She was a brilliant woman with a keen mind. She loved puzzles and math. She loved a challenge.

Randle made the smartest decision of his life when he asked Juli to marry him. The two tied the knot in June of 1983 and began a marriage filled with exciting adventures, love and mayhem.

Randle could keep anyone on their toes. He was fun, brash, kind, loving and at times a firecracker. Juli and Randle were the perfect partners for one another. Her fun, quiet and mild demeanor played alongside Randle with perfect precision...The two fit together like a glove and made a fun, sweet and blessed life together.

Juli and Randle had two children together Christopher and Labri…together they made a home for their children. One in which Christ was honored.

Juli loved her children very much. She cared for, doted upon and was very proud of each of you. She was a mom who gave her heart, time and attention to her kids.

She made certain they not only had all they needed for life but had her as well. Some never grasp the difference between those two things…some believe providing things is enough…Juli understood the need for more and she gave.

But her most important relationship was the one she had with her savior Jesus Christ.

It was the hope she had in Christ that gave her strength to continue on after Randle died. And it was that same hope in Christ that gave her the expectation that she would one day see him again…because both had faith in Jesus.
