Julie Rae Frieze

November 10, 1940 - April 28, 2020

Julie Rae Frieze, age 79, passed peacefully on April 28th, 2020 after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born on November 10,1940 in Storm Lake, Iowa to Gertrude and Raymond Hyllested. Julie attended Midland College on a journalism scholarship. Jules, as many knew her, was always quick to laugh and make you laugh. She was a woman of combined grace and quiet strength. Jules was never without a book to read or flowers on the table. Her passion for reading and gardening was only surpassed by her passion for her family. She will always be remembered as an extraordinarily loving wife, mom, mother in law, sister, grandma and recently great grandmother!!! Julie is survived by her husband Robert Barron Frieze, her daughters, Debbie Chamblin (Tony) of Lexington, Kentucky, Kelly Davis (George) of Los Angeles, California, Stacey Frieze of Lexington, Kentucky and Jill Wright (Chad) of Nashville, Tennessee. In addition, her sister Janis Jacobsen (Loren) of Des Moines, Iowa, her grandchildren Kaitlin Chamblin Hodgson (Alistair), Lucy Davis, Clayton Davis, Elizabeth Wright, Hannah Wright, Robert Wright, Madeline Mann, Abigail Mann and one great grandson, Whitfield Hodgson. A celebration of life will be held at a later date when it is safe for family and friends to gather. In lieu of flowers, the family requests any donations be made to the Belmont Child Care Association at www.belmontchildcare.org Julie was a long time volunteer and supporter of the organization.
