Julie Greim Obituary

Julie Marie Greim of 215 Saddle Hill Drive died Saturday, August 21, 2010 on I-91, in Meriden as a result of a tragic accident. Born October 2nd, 1988, Julie is the beloved daughter of William and Ellen Greim of Guilford and the sister of Laura and Kelsey. Julie was a 2007 graduate of Guilford High School, and was employed by SARAH of Guilford where she found her niche in life caring for adults with varying abilities. Julie was happy to get up and go to work each day while sensing the needs of others and having the unique ability to respond with great care and compassion. She put others before herself, as she loved what she was doing. Julie had a great passion for the arts and was an extremely talented artist with an eye for all things beautiful. She also worked for a number of years at Vera Wolf in downtown Guilford. She enjoyed helping her family and friends on special occasions with their hair and makeup. Jules had a very creative mind, and loved to express it in her writing poetry. She loved music, acoustic guitar and singing and was president of the Guilford High School Chorus in her senior year. In high school, she enjoyed playing on the girls' ice hockey team, where her family was very active. Julie skated along with her sisters, Laura and Kelsey. Her mother, Ellen, would regularly host huge brunches for the entire team, nurturing Jules' spirit for the game and creating memories for all involved. Julie cherished spending time at her family cottage in Clinton, collecting sea glass and taking in the beauty of the ocean. Along with being by the water, she loved going on hikes. She enjoyed photography and had a great eye for her subjects, bringing forth the splendor in all she viewed. She lived her life to the fullest, and shared her vitality and love of family, including her sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Julie was a loving human being with a carefree, kind spirit. She loved spending time with her boyfriend, Eddie, and her friends. She had an infectious smile that would light up any room and she will be deeply missed. We take comfort in knowing that Julie is at peace in Heaven among angels. In addition to her parents, William & Ellen, sisters, Laura and Kelsey, Julie leaves behind her Grandfather, Silvio Beltramello, her many cherished aunts, uncles, cousins and friends and her precious dog, Mikey. She is predeceased by her cousin, David DelBuono; Grandmother, Josephine Beltramello; Uncle Ed Greim and many other loved ones. She will be sorely missed and the memories of Julie's life will be forever cherished. Memorial services will held on Thursday, August 26 at 10am in St. George Church, 33 Whitfield St, Guilford officiated by Rev. Mary Anne Osborn of Zion Episcopal Church, North Branford and Rev. James A. Shanley of St. George Church. Burial will follow in Zion Episcopal Church Memorial Garden, 326 Notch Hill Rd, North Branford. Family and friends may call Wednesday, August 25, from 4 – 8pm at the Guilford Funeral Home, 115 Church St, Guilford. Memorial contributions can be made to: Shoreline Sharks Youth Hockey, PO Box 277, Guilford, CT 06437, where a scholarship fund will be established in Julie's name; or to SARAH, Inc, 246 Goose Lane, Suite # 104, Guilford, CT 06437.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Dear Mr and Mrs. Greim,
I am so sorry about Julie. I remember her from my US History class during her junior year. She always had a smile and a pleasant "Good Morning". She struggled with writing a research paper but she ultimately accomplished it. My sincere sympathy.

Dear Ellen,
I know we haven't seen each other for years but Mary Kay always keeps me updated. Today she shared with me the very sad news about your daughter Julie. She had your beautiful warm smile. May you find comfort in family and friends. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

August 30, 2010

Dear Ellen, Bill, Laura & Kelsey,
Unless one has experienced the loss of a child they can't possibly feel the pain your family is going through. We can just offer our sincere sympathy. Ellen, if Julie was like you in the way you were with the children at Lakes School she must have been a beautiful person. My thoughts are with you and your family at this extremely difficult time.
Fondly, Lynn Wiese

My condolences to the Greim family and the many friends that loved and supported Julie. I interviewed her at SARAH, Inc. as the HR Manager, and she made such an impression as someone who generally and naturally cared about others who needed special care. She said she was just trying to figure out what she wanted to do with her life and felt this was the place to start. She found it. More importantly we had the benefit of having her grace us with her presence and many smiles while she cared for our participants that we serve. Julie will forever be in our hearts as a great Advocate for SARAH, Inc. and a great person. God Bless.
