Julie Ann Rice (née Postello), 56, of Saint Joseph, MI passed away peacefully on December 16, 2020 at her home with her family by her side.
Julie was born in Saint Joseph on March 11, 1964 to James and Barbara Postello. She graduated from Decatur High School and continued her education at Southwestern Michigan College and Kalamazoo Valley Community College. Julie was a long-time resident of Paw Paw, MI spending much of her time organizing community events for the PTO and Paw Paw Athletic Boosters.
After moving back to Saint Joseph, Julie actively volunteered for many local breast cancer fundraising events, was a member of the SWM Blossomland Pirates Parrot Head Club and enjoyed spending her final years living near Lake Michigan where she loved walking the beach collecting beach glass and rocks for her many craft projects. Julie loved to garden, spending hours with her flowers and fished whenever she had the opportunity.
Julie is survived by her two children, Anthony Harvey and Mackenzy Rice of Paw Paw, MI; and her siblings, Daniel (Jen) Postello, Shelia (David) Dragomir, Tracy Postello and Kevin Postello.
Julie will be deeply missed by all who have known her. Memorial donations may be given to Marie Yeager Cancer Center and Caring Circle of Lakeland.
