Julie Ann (Wright) Stafford
Julie Ann (Wright) Stafford, 60, of Chillicothe, entered into Heaven on July 19, 2020 due to injuries sustained in an automobile accident. She was born on February 8, 1960, in Chillicothe, the daughter of Harold and Nancy (Paxton) Wright, who survive.

Julie was preceded in death by her daughter and “Angel,” Abby Stafford, who she thought of everyday; brother, Joel Wright; and special grandmother, Margaret Large.
Julie was a 1978 graduate of Zane Trace High School and received her Bachelor’s Degree from Ohio University Chillicothe. She was very athletic and excelled in volleyball and basketball, even being named All-Ohio in volleyball. She enjoyed her time playing sports and made lifelong friendships. She was a loving mother, sister, and daughter and should be remembered for her kindness towards everyone she met. She would give her last penny just to make someone happy.
