Julieta B. Benson

December 24, 1929 — November 6, 2024

Saratoga Springs

Behind every journey is a story. Our story is intricately connected to our mother’s, a beautiful woman of faith, who is “the wind beneath [our] wings.”

Our beloved mother Julie peacefully crossed the veil at the age of 94 in Saratoga Springs, Utah, accompanied by heartfelt tributes and goodbyes from each of her 7 children.

Julie or “Nanay Julie” or “Aling Julie” was a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother who touched the lives of everyone in her own special way. Julie’s life was marked by her unwavering dedication to her family, church, and community. She was beautiful, kind, courageous, highly intelligent, helpful, generous, resourceful, forgiving, and most of all, loving. Her gardening and cooking brought joy to many as she shared the bounty of her garden and her delicious dishes. 

At this tender moment, each one of us feels that a VERY big piece of our hearts is missing. And the little piece that is left is hurting SO badly. Nevertheless, our mom, a true believer who taught us to look up to the Savior in every thought, and to “doubt not, fear not,” is lending us the strength of her faith in the truth that families can be together forever. 

Julie is loved by her children Maria Elizabeth (Ernest Charles Bradley), Jenneth Victoria (Rene Doria), Judith Ann (Roland Arcansalin), Faith Lourdes (Gerry Bayona), M. Lelinneth (Nathan Novilla), Ruth Liberty B. Jones, Nolan Ronald Keith L. Beloy (Diane), grandchildren Maria Nina (Deejay Dellona), Jerenneth Lei Aloha (Tol Koim), Jillian Leilani (Yuya Ogawa), Rene Romney (Sherriza), Ronald Stephen (Auna), Russell James (Daniella), Julie Ann, Julia Jamie, Jan Mahana (Brian Capulong), Joelle Marie (Mahonri Penafiel), Jay Randall, Jannelle May (David Luna, Jr.), Louise Joy, Deborah May (Leonel Molina), Jerome Abraham (Amanda), Megan Marielle (Dan Thai), Michaela Anne, Lynneth Kirsten (Austin Dorman), Nathan Kenneth, Kristoffer Nolan, Kennith Nicholas, Dominique Danielle Therese, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren, who will cherish the memories of the time spent with her.
