Mrs. Julia Mae Butler was born to Ernest Hall and Minnie Brown in Dublin, Georgia on November 5, 1927. She was the oldest of 3 children.

Julia was a woman with a vi- brant spirit, a strong personal- ity, and a flair for fashion like no other. No ensemble was com- plete without the right shoes, handbag, jewelry, and of course the hat. She was always sure to be “picture ready” when she went anywhere, showing the world in her words “Who I am”. Her flair for fashion and her ability to bring light to any room became the signatures that all her children followed.
