JULIE GRIMM (SHELTON)

Cedar Rapids

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother Julie Grimm (Shelton). She passed away April 6, 2022.

A Celebration of Life is to be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 12, at Christ Community United Methodist Church in Marion, Iowa. Visitation will be from 4 to 6 p.m. that same night. There will be a light meal following the service.

She is survived by her three children, Abigail amd Eric Heinrich; Brian and Melenie Grimm; and Melissa and Steve Collins. She had five grandchildren, Brady and Star (Partee) Grimm of Phoenix, Ariz., Avary Heinrich, Graci Heinrich, Elena Grimm, Cameron Collins and another special delivery is due in November.

Julie Dianne Shelton was born June 27, 1958, in Lisbon, Iowa, to William "Darrell" Shelton and Diana M. Shelton (Lang). She joined a brother Kelly and a sister Rita. Soon after she was joined by another sister Doris and a brother Russell. She married Richard Lee Grimm on July 3, 1976, in Lisbon, Iowa, shortly after she graduated high school.

Julie loved the country, cooking and long conversations with her bonus sister, Su. She loved her children and her grandchildren so much. She will be missed immensely by all who knew her because to know her was to love her.

In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made in her honor to the charity of your choosing. Julie loved helping others and that is what she would have wanted.

Mom, we love you and we will miss you every minute we are without you.

Julie was preceded in death by her sister, Rita O'Donnell; her father, Darrell Shelton; and her mother, Diana Shelton. She also joins her sweet Libbie whom passed in 2014.
