🌟 Staff Spotlight: Julie Simcosky 🌟

Julie has been guiding families with care and compassion in funeral service for decades. Starting young alongside her parents at Hinton Funeral Home, she became a licensed funeral director in 1975. Her lifelong dedication to helping others led her to join Speaks Chapels in January 2020.

Beyond her work, Julie treasures her role as a pastor’s wife, and her family—including two sons and two granddaughters—brings her endless joy. When she’s not supporting families, you’ll find her enjoying coffee and conversation with friends.

Thank you, Julie, for the warmth and care you bring to our team and the families we serve!
