In Loving Memory Of Julie Boyce Timms,

Julie Boyce Timms, a devoted and compassionate soul, departed this world on March 8, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of love, activism, and unwavering dedication to the causes she held dear. She was 82 years old.

Born on September 7, 1941, in Norfolk, Virginia, Julie lived a life marked by a profound love for her family, a deep-seated passion for animals, and an unyielding commitment to justice and equality. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, touching the lives of those around her with warmth, kindness, and boundless love.

A pillar of strength for her family, Julie found immeasurable joy in the presence of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She reveled in the simple pleasures of family gatherings, cherishing the laughter and love that filled her home. Her nurturing spirit and genuine affection created a haven for generations to come.

Beyond her family, Julie found purpose and fulfillment in her role as an animal control officer for Willingboro Township. Her passion for the welfare of animals was evident in every aspect of her work, as she tirelessly advocated for their rights and well-being. Her compassion extended to all creatures, and she leaves behind a legacy of kindness and advocacy for those who cannot speak for themselves.

In her earlier years, Julie fearlessly stood on the front lines of the civil rights movement in the 1960s. As a young teacher, she staged a courageous sit-in, protesting the stark inequality in the educational resources provided to African American children in her class. Her determination and courage left an indelible mark on the fight for justice, and she continued to be a vocal advocate for civil rights throughout her life.

Julie was known for her unapologetic voice and her willingness to speak up, even when faced with adversity. She believed in standing up for what was right, regardless of popular opinion, and she faced challenges head-on, undeterred by the potential dangers. Her courage serves as an inspiration to all who knew her, a reminder that one person can make a significant impact on the world.

As we mourn the loss of Julie Boyce Timms, let us celebrate the rich tapestry of her life—a life filled with love, compassion, and a tireless pursuit of justice. She will be remembered not only as a cherished family member but also as a beacon of hope and change in the community she served. May her legacy continue to inspire us all to stand up for what we believe in and to make the world a better place in her memory.
