Obituary
Julie Anne Piatchek, 43, of St.
Joseph, formerly of Lincoln, was born on October 18,
1979, to Gay (Ruble) and Richard Piatchek in
Springfield. She died suddenly on April 28, 2023, in
St. Joseph.
Survivors include her children: Madison, McGwire,
McKenzie and Miles Atwood, with Kris Atwood, all of
St. Joseph; her sister Jennifer (Ryan) Keith and
children Gracelyn and Emersyn of Lincoln; her
parents John Bowen of Lincoln, and Rich and Kay
Piatchek of Tinley Park; amazing aunts, uncles, and
cousins, and bonus siblings and nieces and nephews
from the Bowens to the Atwoods to the Piatcheks and
all the sports families in between. Carol, Ed,
Jerry, Kim, Angela, Jason, Rebecca, Jeremy, Matthew,
Ethan, Landry, Andrew, Lauren, Ashley, Tom, Kayla,
Leah, Heather, Roger, Peyton, Tammy, Hannah, Gage,
Haven, Jason, Dennis, Christy, Cody, Nicholas, and
more all will feel her absence.
She was greeted in heaven by her mother Gay Bowen,
her sister Kristi Piatchek, her grandfather Lyle
Bowen, and her aunt Wendy Bowen.
She was a devoted mother, couldn’t wait to be the
house with all the popsicles, and loved to host all
the parties. She ran her own home daycare for years
and earned the nickname of “baby whisperer.” She
loved her recent work in human resources for several
companies and treated her employees like her
children, nurturing their possibilities and
encouraging them at all times. |
Julie found humor in even the dark
times and shared a devilish sense of humor with her
sister. She was a tremendous cheerleader of all she
loved.
She graduated from Carroll Catholic School, Lincoln
Community High School, and Lincoln College.
Julie literally and figuratively fed people with her
goodies, her generosity, and her attention. She is
already desperately missed as much as she is adored.
Visitation will be held from 2-5 p.m. on Sunday, May
7th, 2023, at Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home
