Julianne Chanel Hoberg was born on a bright sunny day in Spokane, Washington on August 4, 1996. Julianne was the precious daughter of Chester and Jana (Burgess) Hoberg. She was also the treasured big sister of twins, Stephen Timothy & Stephanie Anne and little sister, Lochlyn Michaela. Julianne's older sister Heather watched out for her lovingly when she was a little girl. Chester and Jana were over the moon excited when they found out they would be having another baby to join big sister Heather who was almost 10 years old. She was highly anticipated and adored by everyone. She loved to snuggle and give big kisses. She loved being silly, making forts in the back yard with her siblings and bugging her big sister. Grandpa and Grandma Chester and Janice Hoberg loved Julianne very much and prayed for her and all of their grandchildren. Recently, Julianne had been talking with her Grandpa Chet, of Spokane, and they shared fond memories and deep caring. She grew up in Liberty Lake, Washington and loved every second of living there. She loved her teachers and friends at Liberty Lake Elementary School, and treasured her favorite teacher, Carmen Parker and life-long friend Victoria McGinnis (Leichner). Julianne swam on the Liberty Lake swim team and later became a fierce competitor on her High School debate teams. After attending Greenacres Middle School and two years of High School in Spokane she moved with her parents and siblings to Yakima, Washington where she finished High School. Julianne excelled in debate and her Gonzaga Prep Coach, Andre' Cossette and Eisenhower Coach, Stuart McCurdy indicated that Julianne was powerful at conveying her passions and convictions on social and political issues and had an amazing power of persuasion. Julianne spent the first two years after high school living with her beloved Grandma, Shirley Burgess Rowan of Belfair, Washington and working at Anthony's at Sinclair Inlet and developing great friends at work, including her lasting friend and manager, Amanda Helmke. Julianne was very close with her Auntie, Jeri Burgess, and counted on Aunt Jeri to give her solid advice and guidance. Julianne attended Olympic College in Bremerton for 2 years and then continued her education through WGU and was 2 quarters from finishing her Bachelor's in Accounting. Julianne attended the North Bay Lutheran Community Church in Allyn, Washington and developed a caring friendship with Pastor Brian Pederson and his wife Leah. Brian and Leah visited Julianne in San Diego and they had a really great time together. Julianne moved to Portland, Oregon and lived with her Uncle Andy and Aunt Kim Burgess and worked at Multnomah Orthopedic Clinic where she learned so much from the great doctors and office staff. Following her spirit of adventure, Julianne bought a car and headed to San Diego, California to follow the sun and surf. While in California, Julianne worked various jobs including driving around in a pink "Bang" energy drink Jeep promoting their products, dressing the part in "Bang" attire. Julianne had so many dreams and ambitions. While in San Diego she worked in bookkeeping in various offices, was a working model and kept audiences in stitches in the San Diego comedy club circuit poking fun at some of the absurdities of life! Her friend Samantha Goakey has loved Julianne since she was a baby when all the kids and grandkids spent time together on the North Shore of Hood Canal with their families. Samantha visited Julianne in California and was both a friend and cheerleader for Julianne. Julianne traveled to Italy in February 2020 planning a short two-week trip but had to spend many long months quarantined in Lombardi Province. While there, Julianne had some positive experiences but also significant trials and tribulations. She kept a journal and she has been actively working on a play about her experiences infusing comedy throughout. When she returned from Italy, Julianne quarantined at her Uncle Tom and Aunt Marilyn's home on Oakland Bay and then headed down to San Diego to resume her life. She had a cute little apartment and was so happy decorating it and wanted everyone to come down to visit her. Very recently she was completing both her Mariner Licensing and her Yacht Crew Licensing. She had finished fire training and was completing advanced training in Florida. A trip that should have been a fun and rewarding adventure ended with Julianne tragically passing away. Julianne's siblings will miss her greatly. Stephen and Julianne shared a love of the water and nature and they shared ambitions of careers that involved boats and sea-faring vehicles. They talked about their shared love of nature and were really connecting on new levels as adults. Stephen says that Julianne was the best big sister that he could ever have. Julianne had a special relationship with sister Stephanie and when Julianne wanted to talk over things or get advice from someone other than Mom and Dad, she would call on Stephanie for support and wise advice, both of which Stephanie was wonderful at providing. Julianne adored her little sister, Lochlyn, and was her strong advocate. She was so incredibly proud of Lochlyn's academic and athletic accomplishments and she had high hopes for her future. Julianne and Lochlyn were finalists to be on a game show together, and then the pandemic hit and it was delayed, but this kind of adventure was right up Julianne's alley! Julianne's older sister Heather, loved and watched over her when she was a little girl and that time was very special. We are heartbroken at this unimaginable loss of this precious daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece and friend. Our hopes are that we will slowly be able to replace this anguish with good memories and shared love and hope for the future. A private funeral and internment will be held on May 14 in Poulsbo, Washington. Due to Covid, a Celebration of Life will be planned for early summer and everyone will be notified and invited. John 14: 1-4 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God and trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going."
