				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Julie Ann Loop (Ellison), passed away peacefully on July 11, 2026, at the age of 58, surrounded by the love of her family.

Julie was born on June 23, 1968, in Albany, Oregon, and made her home in Sweet Home, Oregon. She dedicated her life to her family as a homemaker, creating a home filled with love, laughter, and unwavering support.

She is survived by her loving husband, Glen Loop; her daughters, Sherrie and Tracey; her cherished grandchildren, Daniel, Ezra, Anthony, Jonathan, and Skyler; and her siblings, Steven and Linda. She also leaves behind many extended family members and dear friends who will miss her deeply.

Julie was preceded in death by her parents, Betty and Bill, and her siblings, Christine, Patty, Deborah, and Ronnie.

Julie found happiness in life's simple pleasures. She loved rock hounding, camping, and spending time with those she loved, especially on trips to the river. Her greatest joy was being with her family, making memories that will be treasured forever.

She will be remembered for her kind and generous heart, her wonderful sense of humor, and her willingness to help anyone in need. Julie loved deeply and lived fully, leaving an impact on everyone fortunate enough to know her. Her warmth, laughter, and unconditional love will remain in the hearts of those she leaves behind.

Though our hearts are broken by her passing, we find comfort in the countless memories she gave us and the love she shared so freely. She will be forever missed, forever loved, and forever remembered.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, August 16, 2026, beginning at 11:00 a.m. at the Pavilion in Pioneer Park, Brownsville, Oregon. Family and friends are invited to join us as we gather to honor Julie's life, share memories, and celebrate the love she gave so freely.
