Julie’s Story

Site created on April 21, 2019

Please help support the Zittergruen family. Last fall, Julie was diagnosed with colon cancer and completed 12 rounds of chemo like a champ. In March, she developed pneumonia which eventually turned into ARDS, a serious lung disease. On April 23, she peacefully left this Earth surrounded by loved ones. She was the strongest, most caring person we have been lucky enough to know and we would like to stand together to help Evan, Avery and Blake in any way that we can.


If you'd like to donate to Julie's Go Fund Me page to help with her medical costs and other expenses that Evan, Avery and Blake may incur, go to https://www.gofundme.com/support-for-julie-zittergruen-fam.  (https://www.gofundme.com/support-for-julie-zittergruen-fam. )

Her entire family thanks you for the outpouring of love and support they've received from everyone who knew Julie. She was one special gal, that's for sure!
