Julie Culbreath

Julie Culbreath, 74, of Jonesboro passed from this life on Sunday, December 20, 2020. She was born to the late Pat and Lenora Ramirez in Houston, Texas on June 26, 1946. She worked at Arkansas Glass Container for 25 years. Julie was a Boss Packer and also served as the Union Rep. She never met a stranger and loved to fight for the underdog, which made her perfect to serve as a Union Rep. Julie touched so many lives and could not find wrong in anyone. These traits have led to many calling her “mom” throughout the years. When Julie wasn’t working or taking care of everyone else, she loved to gamble and shop! Julie’s grandbabies were the joy of her life and she lived to see them grow and be happy. In addition to her parents, Julie is preceded in death by her brother, Danny Ramirez.

Julie is survived by her husband of 45 years, Paul Culbreath; sons, Richard Giddings, Michael Giddings (Jennifer), and Jeff Culbreath (Kristin); daughters, Dorothy Younger (James) and Paula Culbreath (Kreg Loberg); brothers, Patrick Ramirez, Mike Ramirez, Felix Ramirez, and Paul Ramirez; sisters, Josephine Bryans, Connie Ashley, and Mickey Austin; ten grandchildren and one great grandchild.
