Friday, May 9, 2008

The angels came and took Jullie Ann Rose Rimel, 58, of Clarkston, on Tuesday, May 6, 2008. She succumbed at home of a possible heart attack. She was a survivor of breast cancer.

"I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me."

Jullie was born Dec. 21, 1949, in Lewiston, to Robert and Bonnie (Eberhardt) Rose. Jullie lived here in the valley most of her life. She graduated from Clarkston High School in 1968 and she did attend some college at Lewis-Clark State College. She had worked as a waitress early in life and later on worked for her brother's company. She married Bill Rimel in 1973 and they had a daughter, Vanessa Bonnie Rimel.

Her father, Robert, and husband, Bill, preceded her in death.

Jullie is survived by her beloved mother, Bonnie Burke; and siblings, Robert Wilson of Spokane, Marilee Wilson Roberts of Clarkston, and Deloris Wilson Johnson of Weippe. She is also survived by her loved daughter, Vanessa Rimel Jackson of Seattle; and two grandchildren, Alexandra and Riley.

Jullie enjoyed nature, working in her flower garden and yard. She loved to go for walks, read and write down her thoughts.

"If God be for us, who can be against us?"

A celebration of her life will be conducted at a later date, privately with a family gathering.

The family suggests memorials be made to St. Joseph Cancer Center or the charity of your choice.
