Julia married William “Bill” Wamsley on July 4, 1944 and celebrated 54 years together before Bill’s passing on August 21, 1998. Although they shared many ups and downs in life, they always continued to love each other. They were married 18 years before the Lord blessed them with their pride and joy a daughter named Mary after Judy’s late sister. Mary Beth brought them great joy and three beautiful grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband William “Bill”; one brother William "Bill" Burris; and one sister Mary Ida Faulkner.
Survivors include her loving daughter Mary Elizabeth "Mary Beth" Massey and her husband David of Perkins, OK; three grandchildren Zachary, Jordan and Jon David. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, friends, and church family who will miss her greatly.
Julia worked for many years as a nurse’s aide and a cook for the Guthrie Public Schools. She loved being with her family and cooking delicious meals. She was an active member of the Guthrie Christian Church for 35 years, before moving to live with her daughter and serving the Lord faithfully as a member of Community Christian Church of Moore, OK and North Side Christian Church of Oklahoma City, OK.
