Julie Lynn Hecomovich, born in San Rafael, Calif., on July 31, 1961, passed away in St. Petersburg, Russia on March 13, 2015.
Always inquisitive, she embraced life, and was passionate about her many interests – art, architecture, literature, languages, theology, history and people.
She experienced more in her 53 years of life than most of us would if we lived to be one hundred.
Raised in the Cobb area of Lake County, Calif., she graduated from Middletown High School in 1979, serving as class valedictorian.
She went on to graduate from Yuba Community College, Marysville, with high honors in 1981 and received an Outstanding Academic Achievement Award upon graduation from San Francisco State University in 1984.
After working in San Francisco for five years, she left for Europe, never to return to California on a permanent basis.
She fell in love with Germany and lived in East Berlin for many years, then the Jordan Valley in Israel, London, her beloved New York City and finally St. Petersburg. In all the cities she called home, she worked as a writer, editor, translator and teacher.
In addition to living around the world she traveled widely through Europe as well as trips to other locales including Bolivia, China, Jordan, and India.
Of all the things that were of importance to Julie, what mattered most was to be a friend, and she made them around the world. She loved them dearly and was loved dearly by her friends and her family.
Julie is survived by her mother, Darlene Hecomovich; her brother, William Hecomovich; husband, Kirill Miller; as well as by many aunts, uncles and cousins.
She was preceded in death by her loving father, William Hecomovich; husband, Alexander Nensberg; grandparents, Dorothy and Ernest Olsen, and Julia and Charles Hecomovich; aunt, Olive Hecomovich; uncles, John Hecomovich, Paul Bradley, Marvin Dickinson and Paul Pieri; and cousins, David Hecomovich, Sergio Rossi, Marla Dickinson and Raymond Dickinson.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 11, at Our Lady of the Lakes Catholic Church, 21396 Highway 175, Loch Lomond, with a reception following the ceremony at Moore Family Winery, 11990 Bottle Rock Road.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hospice Services of Lake County, 1862 Parallel Drive, Lakeport, CA 95453.
