Julia Wild
June 18, 2020
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Julia Wild. Devoted wife and best friend to Kevin and loving mother to Amelia and Jackson. A much loved daughter of Janet Wombwell (Phil) and Greg Lucier (Rita). Sadly missed by her sister Laura (Steve). Julia will be remembered fondly by her mother and father-in-law Jane and Bob Wild and brother-in-law Mike (Grace) as well as close family friend Marilyn Johnston. She loved and was loved by her dear step-brothers Ian (Beth) and Paul (Jocelyn) and her step-sister Heather (Graham). Julia was cherished by many uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Julia was a keen scientist, a talented artist, and a caring teacher. Julia faced cancer the way she faced every challenge in life with tenacity and incredible strength and she is an inspiration to many. A private visitation will take place on Thursday and a celebration of life will be planned in the future. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to St. Joseph’s Hospice in London or the London Regional Cancer Program.

I will always remember her kind and down to earth personality and I will continue to be inspired by her incredible strength. I am sending my thoughts and prayers to you and your beautiful children.
To all of Julia's family, I am so sorry for her loss. She was a wonderful, bright presence at Lucas and I enjoyed talking with her and working with her. She always put others first, remembering what was going on in their lives, even while struggling significantly with her own health. She was a dedicated, caring teacher and will be missed!

Her positive outlook on life has been so inspiring. Julia will be in our hearts and memories forever. Wishing you strength and peace during this hard time.
Dear Kevin, Amelia and Jackson. I had the pleasure of working with Julia at A.B.Lucas SS and fondly remember her positive attitude, warm smile and calming presence that followed her wherever she went. She was a pure inspiration as an educator and made such an impact on those that were so lucky to meet here. Thinking of you all now and in the days ahead.

To Julia's dear family, Knowing that such a long, valiant fight will ultimately be lost does not help us prepare for it. Julia is free from pain and suffering, and now we must survive the heartbreak. Our spirits will lift when fond memories comfort, our strength will be fortified recalling her remarkable will, and when we lose resolve, let us forever hold Julia in our minds as the shining example of how to make the best of the hand that was dealt us. With deepest sympathy and many tears, Joan
Learning of Mrs. Wild's passing is such sad news. I went to Lucas and was lucky enough to have had science classes with Mrs. Wild 4 years in a row. She was a teacher who I really liked and respected. I'm really sorry for your family's loss.
Dear Greg & Rita, My sincere condolences to you, Kevin, Amelia and Jackson who I haven't had the pleasure of meeting but feel like I have already, by the way you hold such a bright light on them.

As a father, Greg, the love, pride and memories you will hold dearly of Julia, are but one of several legacies to cherish. My heart, prayers and blessings are with you all. My deepest condolences. We now have an Angel amongst us. Love, Christina

My deepest condolences to Kevin, Amelia and Jackson. I am thinking too of Julia's loving mother, my sister Janet. My love to you all and my hope that the memories of Julia will lessen your feelings of sadness over time. Julia's health problems existed throughout her adult life; yet during that journey she finished university and teacher's college, married a fine man, taught school for many years, was a loving daughter, and raised two amazing and beautiful children. This says so much about the strong and special person that Julia was. Julia made the most of the life that she had and accomplished so much. My condolences too to Greg and Rita, Laura and all the Wombwells.
Julia -- you will be so missed. I really enjoyed working with you at Lucas and I know the kids loved you. Rest in peace. my friend. You will not be forgotten.
Julia was an inspiration. Her courage in the face of illness will forever be a reminder to me of what it looks like to truly be brave. It is evident by the comments here and elsewhere that she has inspired many others in the same way. If there is any solace to be taken at the time of such loss, I hope you find it in this inspiration that she gave. It will not dissipate. Our family mourns with you.
Dear Kevin, Amelia, Jackson and family, I wish to express my deepest sympathy for your loss. Julia was an excellent, well-loved teacher at Lucas and a good friend.

A life well lived.

Rest well Julia and know you have left behind a legacy to your children and all who were part of your life.
My condolences to Aunt Janet, Kevin, Amelia and Jackson. Julia was such a sweet person and accomplished so much. I enjoyed our family trip to Maui several years ago. We are lucky to have those wonderful memories. Julia gave a great long fight. We wished we could have lived closer to have more memories with her. We appreciated the visits when we went to visit Grandma. Hopefully, we can get over to see you guys once the border opens. You are in our thoughts! Love, Jason, Becky, Blake and Harlie Fox
