Condolences
My mom and I were very saddened to hear about Julie's passing. She became a familiar face at the Clinique counter at The Bay. She was always smiling, warm, welcoming, and empathetic. I remember she did my makeup for my high school prom close to 10 years ago. High school was such a rough time for me but she always made me feel special and naturally beautiful. Every time we left her counter my mom and I always said how kind and beautiful she was. We both will miss seeing her and chatting with her <3 Thinking of her family and loved ones.

— Cindy Kieswetter, May 2, 2021My deepest condolences to you Rob and your family. Julie was my best friend and I will miss her with all my heart. I attached one of my favourite photos of her and have so many that I will share at the memorial. This picture sums up the love she had for her animals and the peace they gave her. Julie was part of the McGillion family from the time we were teens. My deepest memories were at the cottage on the deck with my parents, our trips we took together, all the fun and laughs we had. She is so missed by me, Symonne and Alexandra.

— Chantelle Vader/Charlene Morse, April 26, 2021I am so sorry to hear of Julie's passing. I only knew Julie from her big smile and welcoming spirit at the Bay. She always remembered people by name, and I will always remember her for that - It was a lovely touch to the way she treated everyone.
— Lesley Rintche, April 25, 2021I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of Julie. I so looked forward to seeing her at the Clinique counter. She was so caring and shared her knowledge in such a positive and upbeat manner. Now each morning and evening and during the day when I reach for my Clinique products, I feel a real sense of loss. Julie had a beautiful spirit. Deepest sympathy to all her family and friends.
— June Vida, April 25, 2021Only a few weeks ago I strolled through The Bay and bumped into Julie. Even masked up she recognized me and said a big hello. Over the years as a sometime Clinique customer and having the odd make up session with her, we shared many a giggle and she told me about her farm life. I am saddened to hear of her passing. She was a bright and vivacious person who spread joy in all her interactions. I send my condolences to her family and friends.
— Charlie Axton, April 24, 2021Like others who have left notes here, I knew Julie only as a Clinique customer at the Bay -- but it is a testimony to her warm, welcoming spirit and her commitment to helping others that so many of us feel compelled to reach out and express sadness over her sudden passing. Clearly, she was a radiant gift to those whose lives she touched. My thoughts go out to all those who knew her so much better than I did, and who will miss her joyous presence so deeply.
— Dona Harvey, April 24, 2021Julie was an upbeat, sweet and friendly person! She always made shopping at Clinique special. She will undoubtedly be missed by many.
— Joyce, April 24, 2021I was deeply saddened to read Julie's obituary in the newspaper today! Several decades ago, I met Julie at the Clinique counter at the Bay and was very impressed with her genuine care and expertise. She had the amazing ability to remember the names and details of her clients and we were always greeted warmly with her bright smile. I had a recent visit before the lockdown and just the other week she called me to arrange to have a product that was not available at the time delivered to my door. Her essence was radiant with kindness and love. I will deeply miss her and remember her fondly. My sincere sympathy to all of her family. Carol
— Carol Shantz, April 24, 2021I was stunned and saddened to read of Julie’s passing! I was a client of hers for many years at The Bay and was always greeted by her sunny smile and pleasant demeanor. She was extraordinary in that she remembered names and details and cared so much about her clients both in a personal and professional way. I hope that the memories of her presence in her family’s lives over the years will bring comfort in the coming days! Sincerely, Barbara
— Barbara Yeaman, April 23, 2021Oh my....I was so sad to see Julie's obituary in the newspaper today. I had a good Clinique visit with Julie shortly before the last lockdown. I had dealt with Julie for decades and it always surprised me when she knew exactly who I was and what I required. A hearty smile, a genuine persona, a beautiful soul gone too soon. My condolences to friends and family left behind.

— Maureen Mahony, April 23, 2021Although I didn't know Julie personally, she did wait on me at the Bay several times. The last time I saw her was before Christmas and I complimented her on her great haircut. She offered to give me her hairdresser's name! She always looked so attractive and had a ready smile for any of her customers. She will be missed by many. My deepest sympathy to all her family. Mary Kings, Waterloo

— Karen Coburn, April 20, 2021We are sorry to hear the passing of Julie. We both grew up in the Ayton area and knew Julie from elementary & high school, church and Junior Farmers. She was always a friendly and genuine person who always wanted to know what was going on in our world and how our families were doing, when we would cross paths at the Bay. May your memories of Julie provide you comfort during this difficult time.
