Our precious jewel, Julie Andrea Cassel, unexpectedly passed away on November 5, 2022, at the age of 24.

Those who knew Julie knew of her vibrant personality, dazzling smile, her unique outlook on life, and her desire to help each person she met. She had a brilliant mind, was a voracious reader and could learn anything quickly. A sweet friend described her by saying that she sprinkled joy everywhere she went.
Julie graduated from Vision Charter Academy in 2015. She had been married to Austin Palm. She had worked as a hair stylist and was a receptionist/personal assistant in a law firm in Omaha, Nebraska.
A memorial service is being held at Taylor Funeral Service, Monday, November 14, 2022, at 2:00 pm.
Julie was a caring and giving person; she continued that by giving the gift of life with organ and tissue donation.
