Service Details

Julie Caylor passed away on Saturday, July 19, 2025, at home surrounded by loved ones. She is survived by her mother Judy Vandermark, sister Penny Vandermark, brother Rick Sees, three children Cindy Caylor, Bud Caylor, and Benjamin Caylor. Also surviving are her daughter in law Bekah Carpenter, and grandchildren Malcolm Stein, Dawan Anderson, Misha Anderson, Nique Anderson, and Gabriel Caylor. Julie had many more adopted children and grandchildren as she was a mother to all who need one.

Julie was loud and proud! Full of life and love. She opened her home to all and often was cooking up big batches of homemade deliciousness for the whole neighborhood. She would drop everything to help someone in need whether it be a ride or money or anything. She loved music and would unapologetically sing at the top of her lungs at any location. What Julie treasured most was her family. They were at the pinnacle of every decision and move she made. She raised her children and grandchildren to always be kind, compassionate and generous.

Julie will be welcomed by her husband, many angel babies, father, brothers, sister, grandparents, and many more where she is now. Living a happy pain free existence!
