YORK - Julia Ann Dempwolf, 87, of Springettsbury Township, York, daughter of the late Carvel and Julia Gibbs, died early Saturday morning, April 27, 2024.

Julie enjoyed vacationing at the beach, Fenwick Island, Delaware, and the Outer Banks of North Carolina. She enjoyed collecting Muffy VanderBears and Christopher Radko Christmas ornaments. Late in life, as her eyesight was failing, shopping on QVC was a favorite pastime.

She had one grandson, Adam Brown (Mandy) and four great-grandchildren, namely, Noah, Hailey, Dylan, and Leah.
