Julie Ann Ross Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Julie Ann Ross, originally of Mt. Vernon IL, departed for the great beyond on March 18th, 2019 at 11:03AM in her home in Marion, IL. She was battling cancer, and fought to the very end. She lived a life on her own terms, and by her own rules. Julie was born on Feb. 26, 1957. She was the daughter of Billie Jack and Betty (Turpin) Ross. Both her parents precede her in death. Julie loved to travel, and in her later years loved to study ancestry. Her collection of the Ross and Turpin families goes back centuries, and will benefit future generations. She was the general manager of the Marion Campground and RV Park at the time of her death, and was responsible for making it a success. No matter who she interacted with, everyone will remember her kindness, support, and the love she gave to others. She is survived by her daughter, Mallory (Ross) Borne, and son-in-law Cory Borne, both of Marion. Also survived by her sister Jacque (Ross) Ragain, of Mt. Vernon, and brother Jerald Ross of Marion, their spouses and children, and many grand nieces and nephews. There will be no visitation, per family wishes. Instead a remembrance celebration will be held at 1600 E Boyton St in Marion on Saturday, March 23rd at Noon. The family is requesting memorials be made in the form of donations to Hospice of Southern Illinois. We are very appreciative of their services to us, and want to help them how we can… just as Julie would have done. The family would also like to thank everyone who visited, called, and sent messages. It has been a great support, and we are very appreciative. Thank you for your love and solidarity with Julie. You are always with us, and we know how much you were loved. Rest in Paradise. Wilson-McReynolds Funeral Home of Marion provided service to the family.
