DU Oldsters: some sad news. JulieRB has died

[Patiod]

Julie hadn't posted much in recent years, but she was a DU stalwart for a long time. I met her at the BartCop meetup at James Carville's restaurant in DC back in the early 2000s where she spotted me and my husband looking lost, and came over and embraced us with her charm, warmth and friendliness.

Julie decided that she wanted to be a published author, and then contacted just about every agent in America, finally finding one, getting picked up by Avon Impulse publishers, and becoming a successful author with her original take on the romance novel - combining romance and her 2nd love (after politics): Seattle Seahawks football. She wrote the "Love and football" romance series under the name Julie Brannagh.

She was involved in progressive causes in her hometown of Seattle, and God, did she hate Donald Trump.

She leaves her husband Eric and her big old dog Moose, and hundreds of friends and admirers.

8. Oh, my. I remember Julie!

At least once a year, I take note of long term Duers who I have not seen posting recently and try to reach out or inquire about them. I am so very sorry to hear we've lost her.

May she watch over our efforts and may her family, friends, and big ole "Moose" be at peace.

29. Oh!

Oh, my. I was a secret admirer. Her posts always sang to me, even 1 or 2 sentences. That she was an accomplished writer was unknown to me but is unsurprising. We'll miss you, Julie.

35. I remember that name, but it looks like she switched when we moved to 3

and became Missy Vixen. Here is her last OP https://www.democraticunderground.com/1002329751

Sorry to hear of the loss of another long time DUer, condolences to you and her family and friends.

36. I heard about her passing on Facebook. Sad news.

May her passing be an easy one. She was about as "anti-woo" as it gets, but I wish for the brightest blessings for her and for all who grieve for her.
