Mom
She was born in Greencastle, Indiana on the warm day of August 28, 1931. Dewey & Lillie Stultz brought their baby girl, Julia Jean home to the farm where they lived in Morton, Indiana. She grew up with 4 other siblings, Joe, Katherine, Jim & George. They all worked on the farm each having chores and enjoying farm life. She attended and graduated from Bainbridge High School. After graduating high school she went to work in Greencastle and worked as a phone operator. (You don't hear those words anymore.)
She dated Dale Newgent her high school sweetheart and he soon proposed and became her husband. Dad enlisted in the Navy and was stationed in Jacksonville, Florida. Soon after Mom left the farm and moved to Florida to start a family of brats... I mean children which are Mike, Cindy, Gary, Pam, Scott & Dale Jr. (Eddie).
After Dad served in the Navy they moved to Austell Georgia, Bartow, Florida, and then to Dade City, Florida.
Mom worked at Nolen's Drug Store for many years in the fountain serving up some yummy shakes, ice cream cones and sundaes, and the occasional sandwich. From there she began working at the Florida Department of Transportation as Office Admin & Supply Clerk. She retired after 20 years of service to enjoy life with Family and Friends.
We went on many, many trips to the mountains, trips to Disney, and concerts with Dad, She loved Elvis. Tom Jones slung sweat on her while sitting in the front row, Kenny Rogers sang 'Lady" to her and Liberachi showed us all his jewels, just to name a few.
We all have the best memories of the BEST Mom ever. If you have ever met her You would have called her Mom. She was everyone's Mom. She has a shipload of Grands and Great Grands, so many I have lost count.
She to the day still loved Classic Rock music, loving to kick up her heels and sing.
Her favorite color is Red and loves Leopard print. She was always dressed very sharply as a lady would be.
We all have the best memories with her and I'm sure there are many of you who also have great memories with her.
She has completed her Journey on Earth and is on her Journey to Heaven to be with Dad.
I know they are partying, It's been a while since she has seen him.
Ending my story with, always remember to tell everyone how much you love them. Even at 92 years young, you just don't have enough time to spend with loved ones. She is forever in our hearts and I'm sure anyone who knew her.
There will be a Celebration of life in Dade City, but plans are not confirmed yet.
We are taking her home to Clinton Falls, Indiana where She will rest with Dad & Eddie.
