Julie Baldwin Reitmeier, 81, passed away on December 4, 2021, in Franklin, North Carolina, after an extended period of declining health. She was born May 16, 1940, in Peoria, Illinois to Mark Reginald Baldwin and Elizabeth Nelson Baldwin. She was married to Kenneth Ray Reitmeier for 34 years. She was a hard working woman who had a variety of jobs through the years. At times, she would work more than one job to provide for her family. She made sure that her family was taken care of. Her relationship with God was central in her daily life. She was a very spiritual, Christian woman. Earlier in her life, she attended the Episcopal Church. Years later, she attended the Unity Church. She loved to worship with her children at their home churches through the years. She was a strong, independent, loving woman who never met a stranger. Until the last few years of her life, she was always a very active woman. She enjoyed playing tennis, taking walks, doing yoga, reading (especially self-growth and inspirational books and magazines). She loved to play board games, with her favorite being Scrabble, which is an ongoing family tradition. She had a huge heart and love for others. She was a wonderful encourager, always knowing just what to say at just the right moment to help someone feel better about whatever might be bothering them. She loved to travel with her family and friends. Other than the mountains, the beach was a real love of hers. She loved to watch the seagulls and listen to waves rolling in. She absolutely loved her family and was the rock for all of them. The highlights of her life were the birth of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Nothing gave her as much joy and happiness as spending time together with her family. She was a dear, loving Mother to her children and "Grammie" to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, one sister, and a granddaughter. She is survived by her daughter, Beth Corbin and husband Kevin of Franklin, North Carolina; son Chris and his wife Karey of Travelers Rest, South Carolina; son Danny and his wife Kim of Franklin, North Carolina; her brother Mark Denison Baldwin and his wife Mary of Yakima, Washington; 14 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
