- Norman B. Julius, age 90, of Greenville, went to his heavenly home on Monday, February 18, 2013, at Living Tree Estates in Greenville. He was born on September 28, 1922, son of the late Urvan and Ella (Bentle) Julius. Norman farmed his entire life on the family dairy farm that was established in Greenville in 1877. On October 26, 1946, he was united in marriage to Virginia M. Diley at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Greenville where he was a longtime member. Virginia preceded him in death on July 18, 2012. Norman was very active in the Greenville community, serving in many clubs, specifically the Greenville Civic Club. He also served his community as a Outagamie County Board Supervisor from 1972-1990. Norman had many fond memories of his time spent at his cottage in Three Lakes with family and friends. During his life, he also enjoyed snowmobiling, boating, flying his airplane, and trips to Arizona. In later years, motorcycling became Norman and Virginia's passion as they traveled around the country.
Norman is survived by a daughter: Linda (Richard) Kester, Pearce, AZ; daughter-in-law: Diane Julius, Greenville; grandchildren: Ryan (Stephanie) Julius, Greenville; Craig Julius, Appleton; Kara (Joe) Wittlin, Appleton; two great-grandchildren: Jackson and Masen Julius; a sister Dorothy Asmus, Winneconne; two sisters-in-law: Jean (Kenneth) Fredricks, Fremont; Nila (Adrian) Sommer, Three Lakes. He is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
Besides his parents and wife, he was preceded in death by two sons; David Julius in December 2010 and an infant son at birth; brothers-in-law Warren Diley and Arlen Asmus; also sisters-in-law Mabel Diley and Phyllis Diley.
The Christian Funeral for Norman will be held on Saturday, February 23, 2013, at 10:00 am. at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Greenville with Rev. Joel Heckendorf officiating. Burial will be in the church cemetery. A visitation for Norman will be held directly at the church on Saturday from 8:00 a.m. until the time of the service.
The family would like to thank the staff at Living Tree Estates and Southern Care Hospice for their compassionate care and concern for Norman, and also all the visits by family and friends.
