Jeannette Julian

Jeannette Julian, age 81, was born on May 8, 1942 in Detroit, to Michael Cyprus and Cecelia Cywinski Cyprus. Jeannette went home to the Lord on September 22, 2023. She was married to Dennis Julian Sr. on June 27, 1964. They lived in Detroit and Hamtramck before settling in Royal Oak in 1977 to raise their family. They were married for 44 years until Dennis passed in 2008. Jeannette dedicated most of her life to being a stay at home wife and mother of three children. Early on she loved participating in outdoor activities with her kids as well as the other kids in the neighborhood. She loved playing catch or even football and providing a safe place for everyone to gather. Her greatest joy was being a Grandma to her five grandchildren. In their younger years she would babysit and support them during their activities. She was always sure to keep up with their lives as they grew older. Later in life Jeannette enjoyed gardening as one of her hobbies and she loved sitting outside on her front porch where the neighbors would come sit with her for hours talking and enjoying each others company. Jeannette had a huge heart for animals. Most of her pets over the years were strays that needed a home and would somehow find their way to her. She loved feeding the neighborhood squirrels where eventually they would trust her enough to sit on her lap and let her feed them by hand or she would catch them peeking in the windows waiting for her and looking for food. On occasion she enjoyed traveling to Tennessee to visit her son Brian and was excited to be able to experience her first time flying later in life for a few of those trips. She was a big Elvis fan and was happy to check off her bucket list of visiting Graceland and Nashville. Jeannette loved taking drives out to the country with her husband Dennis or anyone else who would take her to breathe in the fresh country air and see the farm animals. She always dreamed of someday owning an old farmhouse, but always said if she didn't get one on earth, she knew she'd have one waiting for her in Heaven. In the past year, she moved into American House Park Place in Warren where she made many friends and touched many hearts. While she was there she enjoyed taking day trips, doing crafts, playing card games and bingo with the other residents and attending happy hour listening to live music and dancing. Jeannette always had a smile on her face and would greet everyone with a kind hello. She was a devout Christian who loved Jesus and was always sure to wish anyone who crossed her path a blessed day. Jeannette was the beloved wife of the late Dennis Julian Sr. Loving mother to Dennis (Karin) Julian, Brian Julian, and Dawn (David) Crowe. Proud grandmother to Corey Crowe, Trevor Crowe, Benjamin Julian, Cameron Julian, and Brooklyn Julian. She also leaves behind her 13 year old cat Precious who she loved very much. Visitation will take place on Friday, September 29, from 10 a.m. until time of service, 11 a.m., at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Catholic Church, 32340 Pierce Street, Beverly Hills. Interment will follow at Mt. Avon Cemetery in Rochester. Share a memory at www.SullivanFuneralDirectors.com .
