Hancock: Ann Marie Julio, 67, of Hancock, passed away at her home early Friday morning, May 2, 2025 with her loving family at her side.
She was born to Lawrence and Elizabeth Julio of Ripley who predeceased her, along with her son James Bryant and ex-husband, John Bryant, Sr. Ann attended Hancock Schools and worked at several local motels throughout her life while raising her family as a single parent. She was the most welcoming, caring, and forgiving person you ever met. Ann enjoyed the simple things in life and was genuinely a beautiful soul. She always put everyone else first and focused on life's silver linings.
She is survived by five of her children: John Bryant, Stacey Bryant, Andrew Bryant, Joseph Julio, and Christopher Julio; her grandchildren: Kyler Bryant, Arianna Short, and Landan Short; her five siblings: Bonnie Tellin, Brieta Julio, Larry Julio, Elizabeth Julio, and Lori (Fred) Wuori; and by several nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles.
She always said “Family is LIFE and sticks together through all of the ups and downs, in this life and the next.”
So as we lay her body to rest and reunite her with mother earth once again, always remember the soul lives on, energy never dies, and the universe will bring us together once again. See you on the other side. Loved always and remembered forever. Love you mom!
A celebration of life for Ann Marie Julio and her son James Michael Bryant will be held at the Salvation Army, 408 Ravine Street, Hancock, Michigan on Monday, August 18, 2025 from 4 P.M. until 6:30 P.M.
