Julie Lynette VanBrunt – January 14, 2025

Julie Lynette VanBrunt was born February 6, 1964 at St. Mary’s Hospital in Enid, OK to Cheryle and Gordon Fuller and passed away at home on January 14, 2025.

Julie was married to Jerry Vanbrunt for 36 years and had one daughter, Lauren Reeves. Julie moved with her family to Colorado in 1972 and graduated from Wasson HS in 1982. She obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Denver Technical University and worked for Lockheed Martin for 30+ years, retiring in 2018.

Everyone who knew Julie knew that she was not a spectator; she lived her life 100% the way she wanted. She loved spending her time at the Colorado Springs Country Club with friends and family playing pickleball, participating in water aerobics, swinging clubs or hanging by the pool. She enjoyed her evenings bowling with Jerry and was always up for a trip to Cripple Creek. Her summers were spent camping at Lake McConaughy and enjoying the outdoors. She always knew how to throw a great party and had a passion for hosting holidays and events for those she loved. She had a heart of gold and cared deeply for all of those around her, especially her twin sister Janice with whom she shared a special and unbreakable bond. Most of all, Julie lived for the time she could spend with her best friend, her daughter Lauren.

Julie is preceded in death by her mother Cheryle Fuller; she is survived by her husband Jerry, daughter Lauren (Trace) Reeves, father Gordon (Linda) Fuller, twin sister Janice (Dennis) Hillstrom, sister Rita Minnard as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

We are heartbroken but we find some comfort knowing that Julie will always be with us in our hearts.
