Julie was born in Portland Oregon to John A Wagoner and Kathryn L (Mills) Wagoner. She moved to Ontario, Oregon in elementary school and later fell in love with a TVCC baseball player (the late) Robert “Rob” Jimenez from Montana. They were married in Choteau, Montana in 1989. Julie is survived by her daughter Alyssa Jimenez (Sean) Mallow, and her two grandsons Samuel Mallow & Grayson Mallow of Lolo, Montana. They were the light of her world. She leaves behind sisters Wendy Wagoner, Tigard, OR, Linda Sigurdson, Corpus Christi TX, Debbie Wagoner, Aloha, OR, Tirzah Cross, Newberg, OR, Melanie Smith, Banks, OR, and Sandi Bennett, Battleground, WA. Julie enjoyed caring for her cats and dog, and enjoyed the wildlife living in the outskirts of Missoula provided. Julie worked for over 34 years at Western States Equipment Co (previously Caterpillar) as an Inventory Assets Manager. She loved her job and coworkers. They were her extended family and she often spoke of them. Monique Krebsbach was her long-time physical therapist who was also a friend and a tremendous help to Julie during her illness.

Julie fought a 16 year battle against metastatic breast cancer. She was courageous and always positive about her next steps in treatment. She loved her oncologist Dr. Scott and the nurses at the Providence Oncology Center in Missoula. We thank them for their many years of caring for Julie and patients like her.
