Julie Ann Driver

Julie Ann Driver, age 65, passed away on June 12, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.

She was born in Council Bluffs, Iowa, to Lorenz Feller and Carol (Feller) Olsen, who preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her mother-in-law, Judy Driver, and father-in-law, Gary Driver.

She is survived by her loving husband, Randy; her son, Tyler (KayAnn) Driver; her daughter, Rachel (Ty) Valdez; and her beloved grandson, Keaton Valdez. She is also survived by her cherished sister-in-law, Becky (Mike) Riehle, and brother-in-law, Robert (Bev) Driver, whose love, support, and friendship meant so much to her throughout the years. She is further survived by her sisters, nieces, nephews, extended family members, and many dear friends whose lives were touched by her kindness and generous heart. A special mention is reserved for her neighbors, The Jastorff's, who became family.

More than anything, she loved her family. Her children were her pride and joy, and her grandson, Keaton, was the light of her life. She treasured every opportunity to spend time with him and loved cheering him on in anything he did. She always looked forward to family dinners or any chance the family could all be together. Nothing made her happier than being surrounded by the people she loved.

She also had four grandcats that she adored: Mel, Lulu, Dwight and Ron. In true grandma fashion, she never forgot her grandcats. She loved them dearly and made sure they were always welcomed with treats and plenty of attention. Their pictures filled her with joy, their visits made her smile, and they held a cherished place in her heart alongside the people she loved most.

She enjoyed traveling and cherished the adventures she shared with her husband and children. Whether visiting her nieces Sara and Lora, and her great nieces and nephew in Colorado, enjoying the beauty and peace of Maui, the memories she made with her family were among her most treasured.

She loved to laugh and had a gift for making those around her feel loved, welcomed, and cared for. Her family always knew exactly how much she loved them because she never stopped telling them. One of her favorite expressions was, "I love you higher than the sky and deeper than the sea," a sentiment that perfectly reflected the depth of her love and devotion.

She will be remembered for her generous heart, her unwavering love for her family, her contagious laughter, and the comfort she brought to those around her. Though her absence leaves an immeasurable void, the love she gave so freely and the memories she created will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

A private Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, June 27th. In lieu of flowers, please direct memorials to Midlands Humane Society in honor of her grandcats.
