Julie Mae Harrison of Des Moines passed away suddenly of complications from Type 1 Diabetes and lung disease on August 31, 2021.
She was born to Donna and Donald Harrison on February 4, 1968. She loved the Chicago Bears, watching movies, and having friends over to enjoy her grilling and cooking. Her best memories were those of her daughter Kourtney playing softball, a hobby they shared, and spending time with her son Kendrick and his friends at her house. She was most proud of her children and her grandchildren, and had a strong Eastside Pride.
Julie is survived by her daughter, Kourtney Kirkpatrick, and son, Kendrick Epping III (Marissa Catalan); grandchildren BrayOnna, Azaleyah, and Zaccai; brother Kenny (Julie) Harrison; sister Dee Rice; and many nieces and nephews.
Due to the limitations of COVID-19 no funeral services will be held at this time.

I met Julie when I worked on Ingersoll next to the dry cleaners I had a Hair Salon she was my Neighbor my therapist my entertainment center Her bold persona was absolutely irresistible The adventures and stories with Julie are way too numerous to note Thinking of them now warms my heart but saddens my soul
