She was confirmed in 1945 at Trinity Lutheran Church, graduated from Gaylord Public School on June 3, 1949, and from Minneapolis Business College in May 1950. Juliann met Robert Jaeger in high school and they were married September 1, 1951, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Gaylord. They were known for their smooth waltzing while on roller skates! Music was a passion for Juliann. In high school she played the trombone and played organ and piano at Trinity Lutheran Church. She shared her joy of singing at the church and included her family. At home, Robert played guitar and Julie accompanied him on the piano, while they and the children sang. Julie enjoyed cooking and will be remembered for her chicken and rice dish and pizza burgers. “Jaeger” buns, “sunshine rings” and tea rings were her famous specialties when baking. As a hostess, she had a flair for decorating a 16-setting table with her milk glass dishes. Julie enjoyed the outdoors while in her vegetable and flower gardens, and when camping, fishing with her family, and trips to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Quiet time found her reading her Bible, listening to it on CDs, or watching inspirational Christian speakers on TV.
