Julie Hartmann Obituary

Missing Julie today and especially this time of year! Tradition was to spend Christmas Eve at Julie’s with our whole family.
The house was filled with joy and love!
Missing my Aunt ❤

Miss you all the time Julie! Your life was cut way to short by a terrible disease.

Julie, I think of you often especially this time of year when we would try to see Dave Koz´s Christmas show. It was so cool that we got to go back stage and meet him at the last one we went to. I imagine heaven is great this time of year. You deserve eternal peace and happiness, my dear friend.

My deepest sympathy to your family.
Sincerely,
Renee Martin, RN, MICU Lutheran General

What Julie taught us...
An act of kindness is never wasted
Experience joy daily
True courage is to live your life fully, despite the obstacles that challenge, but do not defeat us
Friends are the family you choose
Family first

Julie was the first friend I made at OLCHS when I began working there, made all the better because she lived in the neighborhood. She was a wonderful fan and supporter of my students. Julie was always ready for an adventure and fun. How I miss her happy laugh. So sorry I was out of town during the week of her services. My sincere condolences to all of her family and friends.

Lovely friends and family came out to pay respects to my fabulous Aunt. The evening was more of a tribute which made me happy because Julie would have loved that very much! Miss her more than words can ever express !
I am happy but not surprised how much she was a beautiful
Soul to so many! She helped make me who I am today , and I'm greatful. My wonderful Mom( Janet) was a valiant warrior for Julie. I pray for Julie's kids( my cousins). That God will help them through this time

I did not know you, but your life was cut too short. To Jan, you did such a fabulous job as her care taker. You
work with my sister, Joan at the Bremenn
Township. She talked about you all the time & how lucky your sister was to have you taking care of her & such a great job you did. God Bless You & your family at this
time. May your memories comfort you.

I worked with Julie at Oak Lawn HS and had the best time leading our brownie troop. She always had a smile and a kind word to everyone. My condolences to your family.

A soul made of pure gold taken way too soon. I will never forget you. You made such a big impact on my life, it would be ignorant not to acknowledge it. When i was in my troubled state in highschool, you were there to help guide me through it. You were there as a second mother to me. You helped me notice many things about myself as well as working along side with my ADHD as opposed to kneeling to it. You have helped mold me into who i am today, and i am eternally grateful for you pure generosity and care. My entire family and this world will feel your loss. Prayers and condolences are sent to her family.

Going through two family deaths related to cancer. I feel for the family. Ms.Hartmann was one of the first people I trusted and leaned on in high school. Her guidance and thoughtfulness kept me motivated. I went from introverted to extroverted because of her. Her loss is definitely something I feel for deeply. May she rest in peace.

My favorite memory of Julie was the fun we had at our jazz concerts. In particular, the time we had 1 too many chocolate martinis at the Big Downtown and fell asleep in the middle of the Four Play concert! Such a great person, she was a gift to all who knew her and will be missed.

Please accept our most sincere sympathy. Julie was a wonderful person and the world is indeed a sadder place for the loss of her.

There are so many great memories of Julie. Summer bowling league in high school (to meat boys),tennis lessons together, concerts, prom, spring break to Orlando; just good times with an incredible person! She will be missed, my deepest sympathies to her family. Cindy (Klinckman) McCarthy

I am heartbroken over this :(:(:( she helped me in school and was the sweetest person I ever met. Never judged anyone helped all in need. Forever broken of her loss and forever missed dearly. :(

Julie was my sister in law's best friend. She always had a smile, was always laughing. I've been to Vegas a few times with her and each time we talked. She was always interested in what a person had to say, always sincere. She will be forever a fingerprint on the lives of many.

An absolutely friendly and caring person who looked out for her students at OLCHS, she will be dearly missed

Mrs. Hartman was my counselor during my years at oaklawn community highschool we were as close as a student and couselor relationship normally gets but she also helped me through some truly difficult situations as well as just being there when needed for me and many others. You'll be sorely missed

Julie was a very special friend to me and so many others. Her life was filled with love. I will have an empty place in my life. She was a truly special person. I will miss her so much.

Julie was my golf partner and friend for many years. Our laughter and love of our boys, Kevin and James created an often humorous and heartfelt bond. I will truly miss her.

Julie, you were a gentle soul but also a valiant and courageous fighter against a terrible disease. It consoles me to know you are at peace now. You were a wonderful mother and grandmother, sibling, friend, and guidance counselor. You will be greatly missed by all who knew you.

Julie and I started at Oak Lawn Community High School the same year. Her ever present smile, her concern for all, and her willingness to help any who sought her out made her a treasured friend as well as a colleague.
Julie was a one of a kind person, and I will miss her.

Julie was my best friend. We were in each other's lives for 53 years. I'm heartbroken & will miss her til we are together again! Love you & miss you already.

Julie was my friend for over 38 years. She was kind, thoughtful & had an incredible sense of humor. Her strength these past 3 years was an inspiration to us all.

Julie wasn't just my Aunt... She was a big sister to me and an incredible role model. I will be forever greatful she was in my life!
