Julie was of Catholic faith. In 1978 Julie and her husband Frank decided to begin a real estate career that offered flexibility to earn a living and juggle all their activities. Julie worked in asset management and grew their business into a full property management company known as C and C Real Estate. Julie was a Florida Licensed Broker.

Julie and Frank Connelley moved to Cape Coral in 1984. Julie was very actively involved in the community serving on condo association boards and our local Pop Warner chapter for football and cheerleading. Julie joined Raso Realty in 1990. She served on many committees with the Cape Coral Association of Realtors, spending a great deal of time serving on the Grievance Committee. Julie was the consummate Mom.
