Steele, Julia Angeline (Julie) (Nee Rae). 27 September 1937 - 6 August 2026 My beautiful Julie passed peacefully on 6 August, aged 88 in Auckland. I met my Sweetie at the Waimārama Hall New Year's Eve dance in 1955. She was 16 when we shared our first dance, and 18 months later we married. We shared over 70 years together, 69 as husband and wife. Julie was my beloved wife, best friend and travel companion. We shared a love of family, friends, daily walks, coffee and, above all, Jesus. She leaves our daughters Susan and Tracey, 11 grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. I know she is with our son Mark in Heaven. The time will come when we will be together again forever. Forever loved. Your Honey, John Gregg Steele
