In loving memory of Julie Soukup, born on February 6, 1962, and departed from us on June 14, 2023. Julie was a remarkable woman who had a profound impact on the lives of those around her.

Julie, known fondly as the "Donut Lady," brought a unique and unforgettable presence wherever she went. Her bold personality and spirited nature left an indelible mark on her community. Whether she was sharing her love for donuts or making people laugh with her witty remarks, Julie had a way of brightening the lives of those she encountered.

As a devoted mother, Julie poured her love and dedication into raising her two children, Beau Kraus and Joseph Soukup. She was fiercely protective and always there to support them through life's challenges. Her love for her children knew no bounds.

Julie also embraced her role as a stepmother to Wade Soukup, treating him as her own and offering him love and guidance. Her inclusive and caring nature extended beyond bloodlines.

For 34 years, Julie shared a unique and enduring bond with Kevin Hanson, her devoted partner. Together, they navigated the ups and downs of life, creating lasting memories and finding strength in each other's presence.

As a sister to Linda Ruplinger, Herb Ruplinger, Michael Ruplinger, and Scott Ruplinger, Julie cherished the connections she had with her siblings. Their shared experiences, support, and laughter were a testament to the strength of their familial bond.

In memory of Julie, the family kindly requests that you consider making a donation to a charity of your choice. By contributing in Julie's name, you can honor her spirit of generosity and make a positive impact in the lives of others.

Julie's presence may no longer grace our lives, but her memory will forever live on. May her soul find eternal peace, and may we all be inspired by her tenacity, love, and the laughter she brought into our lives. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
