Julia Esther, daughter of Henry A. Isenbart and Eva (Kunzman) Isenbart, was born July 4, 1915 in their rural home Northwest of Alva, Oklahoma. She passed away January 26, 2014 at the St. Francis Hospital in Wichita, Kansas at the age of 98 years, 6 months and 22 days.

She was the sixth of nine children; like her siblings, she received her education in a rural public school.

November 21, 1959 Julia married Marvin Yantz in Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Alva, with her brother, Msgr. A. Isenbart officiating.

Julia and Marvin began their married life on a farm in Flash, Kansas, but later moved to Wauchula, Florida, where they enjoyed the mild climate and working in the fruit orchards. They retired in the Kansas – Oklahoma area in the 1990s.

Julia and Marvin always had one or two elderly people they reached out to doing whatever they could to meet their needs. Julia continued that ministry after Marvin's death and even after she moved to Sheridan Village, she would make fellow residents a bowl of soup, a loaf of fresh bread, or whatever she saw they would be gladdened by such. She was always remembering people in her prayers.

After Marvin's death, February 27, 1997, Julia moved to Kinsley, Kansas, to be near her recently widowed brother, Von Isenbart to. Julia became a very faithful and active member of St. Nicholas Parish. She was a dedicated member of the Daughters of Isabella and an Associate of the Sisters of St. Joseph.

In March 2005, to be near her sisters and niece, Julia moved to Sheridan Village, a retirement center sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Wichita, Kansas. It was there she enjoyed the privilege of daily Mass in the Convent Chapel.

Julia will be remembered for the love and attention she gave the elderly and infirm. She delighted in visiting them, preparing favorite dishes, praying with them and performing various other acts of loving kindness for them.
