Nich (Liz) of Rochester, NY; several nieces, nephews and two very special children Chase & Cole. She was predeceased by her parents Chester and Betty Nich of Greece, NY and brother-in-law George Fling of Hamlin, NY. Julia was born on Sep. 7, 1949 in Rochester, NY. She married Mel on May 30, 1970 in Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, Rochester, NY. They lived in Rochester from 1970-1981 before settling in Hamlin. Julia was a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother and friend. Julia was a devoted and hard working homemaker, gifted in cooking, cleaning and caring for children. After raising her own three children she worked as a nanny for two families. Julia became much more than a nanny to these families. She developed a deep bond with these children and they referred to her as grandma. Julia loved the fall and summer seasons, wind chimes, warm weather, picnics with family and friends, walking, bike riding, the fall foliage and the opportunity to travel and camp at various locations. Julia was so proud of her grandchildren and loved spending time with them. The living room of her home is filled with pictures including a large wall mount photo of her children and grandchildren that she received as a Christmas gift in 2007. She proudly displayed this above her fireplace. Julia fought multiple myeloma, a form of cancer, for three years. On several occasions her oncologist said to her he had never seen anyone battle the disease the way she did. Julia's strength and perseverance allowed her more time than her doctors expected. She battled with courage throughout her illness. The family wishes to extend gratitude to the doctors and nurses of Strong Memorial Hospital for the loving care they extended her.
