Julia A. Bainbridge

A visitation for Julie will be held Thursday Evening from 3:00 to 6:00 at Hachmann Funeral Home & Cremation Service in Bellevue. A private Memorial Service will be held at a later date. Julie was born December 3, 1957 in East Falmouth, Massachusetts, daughter of Wayne and Barb (Michels) Bainbridge. Noisy, unruly, and downright contagious, Julies laugh was positively enviable. Her cheerfulness and supreme sense of humor touched many, leaving a trail of smiles (and occasional tears) in her wake. *Bovine* She lived a life of service, joyfully giving and connecting to others. Selfless over the brim, an inspiration to us all. Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality. Emily Dickinson Surviving are her three children, Josh Bainbridge, of Bellevue, Cameron Scholtes, of Warsaw Poland, and Heather Scholtes, of Chicago, Illinois; three sisters, Laura (Mike) Feller, of Chesterton, Indiana, Deb (Larry) Nemmers, of Bellevue, and Linda (Bruce) Foley, of Lake Mills, Wisconsin; two brothers, Al Bainbridge, of Waterloo, Iowa and Lee (Jen) Bainbridge, of Cedar Falls, Iowa; ex-husband, Del Ray Scholtes, of Phoenix, Arizona; and two dogs, Gemma and Tucker Bainbridge.
