Julie was born May 4, 1977, to Randy and Jane Williams Bouchillon in Louisville. She was a member of Northstar Church in Saltillo, Mississippi, and she dearly loved her church family. Julie put God first in her life and led others by her example. She also enjoyed many outdoor activities especially fishing. As a graphic designer, Julie was a very creative person but her main focus was her family; she felt that “being a mother was her calling.”
Julie is survived by her husband of 22 years Jonathan Burt of Saltillo, and by her three children: Kelsey, Isaac, and Saralane Burt. She also leaves behind her parents Randy and Jane Bouchillon, her sister Rachel (Richard) Nance, and two nephews Sam and Bryce Nance all of Louisville. Julie is preceded in death by her maternal grandparents Leon and Janice Williams, and her paternal grandparents Jimmie and Joyce Bouchillon.
