Julie very sadly passed away on Christmas Eve. It was very unexpected and the PenLife team are devastated to have lost such an important person to us.

Those of you who met her will know what a colourful character she was, and those that didn’t will have caught a glimpse of her mischief in the monthly articles she wrote for Julie’s rant.

PenLife and the people within it, have been a huge part of Julie’s focus for nearly two decades now and we feel very lucky to have shared her with her family over that time.

Julie was passionate about giving back and so we are raising funds for the Stroke Association, in memory of a truly unique and inspirational lady.
