Julie Catherine Scannell
12/18/1959 - 11/17/2014

Julie was born to Don and Sallie Wolfe in Lake Jackson, Texas on her paternal grandmother's birthday. She was raised and schooled in Lake Jackson; and other than the time she spent at Sul Ross University and a brief period in Houston, she spent her entire life in Lake Jackson.


She inherited a love of nature and the outdoors from her father, and enjoyed many hunting trips and wildlife viewing outings with her family. Julie would beam when describing the wildlife she observed, and she especially enjoyed the camaraderie of an evening campfire.


She met David Scannell while attending Sul Ross University, and they were married on June 6, 1981. They raised three children; Jessica, Emily and Brent.


Julie passed away on November 17, 2014 following a year-and-a-half battle with cancer. During that time, Julie's courage was demonstrated as never before―even more than during her thrilling adventure down a Class 4+ whitewater river in Idaho.


Julie was a compassionate and loving person, and will be greatly missed by her family and friends. She is survived by her husband David; daughters Jessica Scannell and Emily and husband Andrew Jimenez; son Brent Scannell; brother Stuart and wife Frances Wolfe; and nephews and nieces (Timothy Wolfe, Terina Scannell, and Tara Henderson)


Memorial will be held on Friday November 21,2014 at Lakewood Funeral Chapel in Lake Jackson Tx at 2 pm.
