Julia Barbara Jaramillo, beloved and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her loving family, on July 20, 2026 in Rio Rancho, New Mexico at the age of 79. 

Julia was a hard working woman who helped run the Blake's Lottaburger in Bernalillo, later becoming a line seamstress for Levi Strauss for 25 years. She then retired to help watch and raise her grandchildren after many years of hard work.
