McCandlish
"When Julie comes around and sings her happy song of summer, and lifts my spirits up and fills my foolish mind with wonder." "When Julie Comes Around" The Cuff Links 1969. The party that was the life of Julie Gareff McCandlish ended abruptly and without warning July 26, 2013. The first of three daughters to George and Joan Gareff who preceded Julie in death, Julie was the organizer, planner and instigator of parties and events for family and friends. She was at her finest on holidays, especially the UA 4th of July and Christmas. Julie is survived by her husband of 33 years, Matt of Upper Arlington; daughters, Marin DeWeese (Kevin) of Austin, TX, Courtney Simmons (Justin) of Worthington; and her son, Kyle of Upper Arlington; sister, Jennifer "Boo" Milligan (Mike) and Amy Adams (Colin) all of Columbus. She also leaves with great love her grandson, Jackson and soon to arrive granddaughter, Rylie and grandson, Cooper. She will also be missed by her lifelong and devoted friends from school and summers at camp Akita along with family and friends who had the pleasure of having Julie be a part of their lives. "Each night I dream baby, Pretending there'll be a happy ending, Burning down deep inside. Gotta a heartbreak that I can't hide." "The Proud One" The Osmonds 1975. Family and friends will celebrate the life of Julie on Tuesday, July 30 from 5 to 7 p.m. at SCHOEDINGER NORTHWEST CHAPEL, 1740 Zollinger Rd in Upper Arlington, followed by Julie's favorite party, a backyard party.
