During her early years she moved a lot and attended public schools in many different places from Reseda, California, San Fernando, California, Kennsett, Arkansas and Wichita Falls, Texas and she saw the importance in getting her education. She was proud to complete her High School education when she received her GED in Austin, Texas which enabled her to work to help support raise her children. She was a member of the Doniphan Chicks.

Austin became home for Julie and her family and she put down roots there and became active in many areas of her life. She showed her faith as a young lady when she was baptized in the First Assembly of God Church of Austin, Texas. Julie was active in her church in many areas of service and found joy in each of them serving as a Greeter, Women's Ministry (WM) where she served as the President and worked with the children. She worked in the nursery and taught Children's Sunday School. The real joy came when she would bake cakes for church and even for the job for any and all events.

Mom was a talented lady and shared them with all. During her lifetime she worked as a Nurses Aide at White County Hospital in Searcy. She was the Manager/Cashier for Airport Haven, was an Insurance Clerk for Electronic Data Systems (EDS) which later became National Heritage Insurance Company (NHIC) both were in Austin, Texas.

She loved life and being with her family and friends. She always looked for things to do and loved to draw, sew, quilt, knitted and crochet when she had to stay inside, but she loved the outdoors. Fishing, squirrel hunting, working in her yard and flower beds and planting a garden each year were just a few of the things she really enjoyed.

With gratitude, the family of Julie Ann Goble would like to extend special thanks for the many acts of kindness shown during her illness. A special thanks to Elite Hospice, Searcy, AR and Home Instead Senior Care, Searcy, AR.
