Julie Mae Klein

Memories are the treasures that time cannot steal.

Obituary

Julie Mae Klein passed away surrounded by the love of her family, leaving behind a lifetime of memories, laughter, stories, and love that will forever live in the hearts of those who knew her.

Julie truly had a heart of gold. She was the kind of woman who would be there for you at the drop of a hat, no questions asked. If someone she loved needed her, she was there. She gave so much of herself to the people around her and loved with her whole heart. Julie never met a stranger and could talk to just about anyone. She was a talker through and through, and those who knew her will deeply miss the sound of her voice, her stories, her conversations, and the way she could make even an ordinary moment feel special just by being there.

Above all else, Julie was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She shared her life with her loving husband John Joseph Klein for the past 40 years, and for over 32 years she worked faithfully by his side at Klein Fabricating. Their life together was built on love, family, hard work, and years of standing beside one another through all that life brought their way.

Julie loved her family deeply, and the greatest pieces of her will continue to live on through the generations she leaves behind. She is survived by her loving husband, John Joseph Klein; her son, Mark Allen Lottig; her daughter, Monica Faye Ayers; and her brother, Joe Pettry.

She is also survived by her beloved grandchildren and their families: Aaron Whitman; Quintin Ayers 2nd; Alexis Lottig and her children, Michael Sandifer and Lincoln Sandifer; Julia Lorfing and her husband, Nathan Lorfing, and their daughter, Adaline Ayers; Natalie Spedden and her husband, Taylor Spedden; Mary Brdecka and her husband, Justin Brdecka, and their children, Paisley Brdecka, Justin Brdecka Jr., and Johnny Brdecka; and Erika Westmoreland.

Julie was preceded in death by her mother, Ethyl Faye Aquino; her father, Jewett Mayo Pettry; her brother, Jewett Mayo Pettry Jr; and her grandmother, Hazel Webb. Her grandfather Basil Webb.

To know Julie was to know someone who loved deeply, gave freely, and was always willing to be there when someone needed her. Her absence leaves a silence that will be felt by everyone who was used to hearing her voice, sharing a conversation with her, or simply knowing she was only a phone call away.

Julie will be deeply missed by her husband, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, brother, extended family, friends, and every person fortunate enough to have been loved by her. Her heart of gold, her stories, her laughter, and the love she gave so freely will never be forgotten.

Though she is no longer here to answer the phone, tell another story, or sit and talk for hours, the love she gave will remain. It lives on in her husband, her children, her grandchildren, her great-grandchildren, and in every memory shared by those who loved her.

Julie Mae Klein was deeply loved, and she will be deeply missed.

Long talks with Julie are a memory all their own..no matter the topic! She mostly doted on her grands.. great grands and at times her own..to be loved by her was a treasure all of its own! She loved big and you knew it! The stories old and new were like a short play... she could go on and I loved it! I'm sure she's getting every one in heaven all caught up.. she'll be missed but never forgotten!!

My friend is now with the Lord. I will miss your love and kindness to me. You were never to busy to comfort me in my time of pain. When my brother passed, you came in the rain to make sure I had what I needed to make the trip to New Orleans, so I would be able to also bring my fur baby Coco with me. Your laugh, even your voice was that of a sound of an angel 😇
You was my friend, and also my spiritual sister. My comfort is knowing you are now with Faye (your mother), and Jewett (your baby brother). Rest In Heavenly Peace, I will always love you
Margo ❤️

How I will miss our long talks. Grandma was always there for everyone and had the kindest, most giving heart. I am so thankful she was able to watch my children grow and be such a special part of their lives. The way she loved and cherished Grandpa taught me what true love really is. Their love was something so special, and I will always carry that example with me. Those memories are something I will hold close to my heart forever. I will miss you more than words could ever explain, Grandma. 🤍

I met Julie first back in Ohio when her brother was my boyfriend‘s best buddy. I’d say 1970. We moved down here after Jewett and Julie relocated here to Houston. Julie saw all my children within two days of their birth all four of them. She and her mom Faye were both beautiful inside and out. Both of them could cook. I’m so sorry to have lost a friend. Last I saw her was at Jewett‘s funeral, which she orchestrated and was a beautiful remembrance of a wonderful person. I’ll be there for the same sendoff for Julie.
