Julie Marie Evans formerly of Rochester MN passed away unexpectedly at the age of 47 at St. Mary’s Hospital on Wednesday November 4th 2020. Julie was born in Rochester MN in 1973 to her parents Robert and Karen Odell. Julie is now reunited with her dog Toby, which I’m sure welcomed her with open paws and lots of dog kisses.
Julie had an amazing personality where she could click with just about anyone that came across her path. Julie was very passionate about her job, she was the director of the Pathway House in Rochester MN. Where she had been employed there for almost 20 years. Julie was none the less a very popular woman who had many people confide in her when they were in a low spot themselves, they knew they could go to her and she would be able to lift them out of their dark spot whether you had known Julie for your whole life or just a few short weeks, she was there at her best ability to help you in anyway she could. Julie truly had a gift to help people. There is no doubt in my mind that she will be missed by many people. She truly did impact a whole platoon of people.
Julie is survived by her parents Robert Odell of Rochester MN; Karen Evans of Stewartville MN, her brother Steven Evans of Stewartville MN, her sister Krystal Evans(Edward Carlino) of Austin MN, her nephew Wyatt Carlino and neice Harper Carlino who she adored and loved with all her heart. She is also survived by her Uncle Daryl(Mary) Evans of Plainview MN, Uncle Tom(Glenda)Evans of Rochester MN.Her cousins and her many friends who turned into family Julie is also survived by her life long friend and boyfriend Jonathan Janssen. Julie is preceded in death by her grandparents. Julie truly had a gift to help anyone she came across. She will truly be missed by many people.
The family has decided to wait until Spring of next year to have a Celebration of Life in Julie’s honor due to the current circumstances with the pandemic that is going on.
so sorry Julie was taken way too soon. I got to know her when she worked at Geotek. She was one of a kind. Rest in peace Julie
Julie was a wonderful friend. I met her through my wife and truly thought she was a very carrying person. Julie had the way to help people mend during there down moments. Julie did know how to put a smile on your face. She will be deeply missed and there will be a space that cant be filled by anyone else like Julie. We will miss her ALOT!!
I will so miss Julie! She always made me laugh and smile. She had a heart of gold. I am still struggling with her being gone too soon. One of those rare people you get to meet in life. With care,and,compassion and a big heart. She made a real impact in people’s lives. One of the most giving person I have ever met. I am grateful I had the chance to know Julie. A quality person of integrity!
I had so much respect for Julie, she was one who was stearns, yet flexible. She lead by example, and cared more then one could see, she encouraged ppl to be the change the way they wanted to be, and though Pathways in not faith-based, I coming from Teen Challenge, was what helped me, she did all she could to allow me that recovery and share with my other peers. Her faith was amazing, SHE was amazing. Real, honest, funny and a real heart of Gold. I will miss you, Julie, honored I had you part of my recovery. Thank you, for allowing myself and a couple others, set new records. May we continue to set more, in our recovery. If I could only be 1/2 the woman you were, Julie.
Much love n Respect !!!!
I’m so saddened to hear of Julie’s passing. I met Julie Evans while working at Pathways. She gave me a chance. She gave me a job that turned out to be one of my greatest experiences. I loved chatting and always laughing with her!!! She always had something funny to make me laugh, she also always had words of encouragement when I struggled in my personal life. I learnt a lot from her. I learnt to take a chance even when I’m afraid, I found that facing fear brings strength. Trying hard brings rewards. I learnt that I had more to offer than I believed because julie believed in me. These are a few of the things I will never forget and am forever grateful for. Much love & gratitude for you Julie☮

So grateful and thankful that you gave me my first job in the field of chemical dependency! I wouldn’t be where I am today without that first step. Rest In Peace Julie
