Julie Ann Armstrong passed peacefully Nov. 7, 2026.

Julie, a joyful, loving mother, wife, sister and friend was born in Waterloo, Iowa on August 14, 1959, to Verla Klenzman Weekley and Donald Weekley. She moved to California with her life partner, Rock Armstrong, in 1978, and they married on July 18, 1993. Julie’s early higher education led to roles in administration and finance. She later pursued her passion and went back to school for childhood development and education working with children as a para and teacher, retiring 30 years later.

Julie will be lovingly remembered for her joyful, kind and loving character. She believed in the goodness of people and shared her love through many cherished relations. Julie’s longtime volunteer work at schools, senior homes and churches exemplified her devotion to people. She loved watching and supporting her NBA team (mostly Foxy). Julie had an incredible passion to support and drive her children to pursue activities (academic, athletic, and otherwise). Her love for live music and dance abounded and was evolving throughout her life from early rock, country and Christian.

Julie is survived by husband Rock, daughter Katie, son Dusty, sisters Donna (Steve) Fox and Karen Weekley as well many beloved nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. She was preceded in death by parents Verla and Donald, brother, Donald Weekley Jr., and sisters Joann Weekley and Jackie (Chuck) Fosselman.
