Julie Nooyen

Julie R. Nooyen, age 71, of Appleton, passed away on Friday, September 27, 2013. She was born on August 21, 1942, to the late James H. and Rose Mary T. (McCann) Welhouse and lived in Appleton. Julie married Thomas Nooyen on April 4, 1964, and spent 49 years together. She worked for over 25 years at Kimberly Clark. Julie was a giving and caring wife, mother, and grandmother. She was a private person focused on her God and her family. From the Book of Proverbs: When one finds a worthy wife, her value is far beyond pearls. Her husband, entrusting his heart to her, has an unfailing prize, she brings him good and not evil, all the days of her life. She rises while it is still night and distributes food to her household. She is girt about with strength, and sturdy are her arms. She reaches her hands out to the poor, and extends her arms to the needy. She fears not the snow for her household all her charges are doubly clothed. She is clothed with strength and dignity and she laughs at days to come. She opens her mouth in wisdom, and on her tongue is kindly counsel. She watches the conduct of her household, her children rise up and praise her. The woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Give her a reward for her labors and let her works praise her at the city gates.
