Obituary

Julia Ann Record-Bentle, 63, entered into the presence of her Lord and Savior on July 10, 2026. Though her passing leaves an immeasurable void in the hearts of those who loved her, her family finds comfort in knowing that she has been welcomed into the eternal Kingdom of God, where there is no more pain, just peace.


Julia was a woman of extraordinary kindness and quiet strength. She possessed a rare gift of seeing the good in people—not because she was naïve, but because she genuinely believed that every person was worthy of grace, compassion, and a second chance. She met the world with an open heart, offering encouragement where others offered criticism and hope where others saw despair.

To know Julia was to be loved. She was the biggest cheerleader in the lives of her family, friends, and even those she had only just met. Her radiant smile could brighten the darkest room, and her infectious laughter carried with it a sense of peace and comfort that made everyone around her feel at home. She had a way of making people believe in themselves simply because she believed in them first.


Julia's creativity was one of God's many gifts to her. Art was not only her passion but also her refuge. Whether creating beautiful charcoal drawings or painting delicate watercolors, she poured her heart onto every canvas and page. Through her artwork, she expressed emotions words could never fully capture. She also loved to sing, filling her home and the hearts of those around her with music. Her voice was as full of life as the woman herself, and it reflected the joy she carried within.

Above all else, Julia loved deeply. Her love was unwavering, selfless, and unconditional. She gave of herself freely and left every life she touched better than she found it. The legacy she leaves behind is not measured by accomplishments or possessions, but by the countless hearts she forever changed through her compassion, generosity, and steadfast love.


Julia is survived by her beloved daughters, Madison Bentle and Katie Bentle; her brothers, Brad Record(Tina), Matt Record (Cynthia) Alan Record(Sandy), and youngest sister Alissa Watson(Cody), and Greg Record; along with many extended family members and dear friends who will cherish her memory for the rest of their lives.


Although this world feels quieter without her laughter and dimmer without her smile, those who loved Julia take comfort in God's promise of eternal life. While grief weighs heavily on our hearts, we rejoice knowing she is now whole, at peace, and embraced by the love of her Heavenly Father. Her faith has become sight, and one glorious day, we will see her again


Julia's life was a beautiful reminder that kindness matters, love changes lives, and even the smallest acts of compassion can leave an everlasting mark. She will be profoundly missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.
