- Julie Joy Williquette, 60, Howard, passed away Monday, August 6, 2012, at her home after a long and courageous battle against cancer, surrounded by her family. She was born September 28, 1951, in Green Bay, to the late James R. and Irene (Fruzen) Thorpe. As a graduate of West High School, she earned a four year scholarship for home education at U.W.-Stout.

She loved working with the "mission ladies" at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church and acquired many close friends. Through the years she has touched many lives in Lioness, VFW, and many other activities; and will sadly be missed.
