Julie M. (Bishop) Rees, of Napoleon, Ohio, passed away peacefully on May 21, 2022 at Flower Hospital in Toledo, Ohio, at the age of 48 after a multi-year battle with ALK Positive lung cancer.
She was born November 12, 1973 in Ann Arbor to James T. and Cricket Ann (Embrey) Bishop.
Julie graduated from Clarkston High School in 1991 and Central Michigan University in 1995. On February 24, 1996, she married Brian Rees in Clarkston.
Julie currently worked at Artistic Roots, Napoleon, and was a substitute teacher for Napoleon Area Schools. She was a former teacher and director at St. Peter Lutheran Preschool in Florida, Ohio.
Julie loved to spend her time with family and friends. She never passed up the opportunity to be on their boat to spend the day on the water. She spent most of her time supporting her girls in sports and life. She would never miss the chance to “do all the things.”
She is survived by her husband Brian, daughters Emma Elizabeth Rees and Molly James Rees, parents James and Cricket Bishop, and sister Amy (Shawn) Seaberg.
A memorial gathering was held in Napoleon.
