On Saturday, October 12, 2019 our mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, ​Julia Timmerman (Hosseel) went to be with the Lord and her loving husband at the age of 94.​

 

Julia was born to Julianna Dobbelaire and Renee Hosseel on June 4, 1925 in Moerkeke, Belgium and grew up along the Belgium coast. She met August (Gus) in 1951 and they married in 1952.
