Julia Hunchis
OSAGE, IOWA - Julia Hunchis, 79, of Osage, died Wednesday, April 3, 1996, at her home.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Monday at the United Methodist Church with the Rev. Clark Christian officiating. Burial will be in Osage Cemetery.
Visitation will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Sunday at Champion Funeral Home, and will continue one hour prior to services at the church on Monday.
Julia Spaanum Hunchis, the daughter of Carl and Laura (Johnson) Spaanum was born May 27, 1916, in Osage. She graduated from Osage High School and continued her education at Cornell College.
Ill health caused her to return to her Osage home. She found employment at Burns Insurance Agency where she worked as a bookkeeper until her marriage. Julia married Fred Hunchis in 1951 and later adopted his four children. She then became the bookkeeper for The Hunchis Cattle Company. Julia was a life member of the United Methodist Church, and an active member of the Naomi Circle. It was only recently that she gave up the position as treasurer.
She was a 50 year member of Chapter AW of P.E.O. Julia enjoyed golf, playing bridge and listening to the big band sounds. She was an avid sports fan, especially the Iowa Hawkeyes and Chicago Bulls. She was keenly interested in her home town and was looking forward to the return of RAGBRAI and the running of the Olympic Torch through Osage. Julia took great pride in the varied activities of her grandchildren and would clip articles about them from the newspaper.
Survivors include her children and their spouses: Marianne Reynolds and her husband, William; Kathleen Holden and her husband, Lowell, all of Burnsville, Minn.; John Hunchis and his wife, Carol, of Clear Lake, and William Hunchis and his wife, Bettie, of Edina, Minn.; 15 grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren.
Pallbearers will be the grandsons: John Reynolds, Patrick Reynolds, William Fred Hunchis, John Hunchis, Jordan Hunchis, Michael Skobba and Daryl Skobba Jr. Honorary pallbearers are the granddaughters: Mary Kathleen Schneider, Julie Colgaard, Kimberly Kay Hunchis, Frances Maakestad, Ann Mary Taylor, Molly Skobba, Dorothy Skobba and Teresa Kern.
Julia was preceded in death by her parents; one sister, Jean; her husband, Fred; a grandson, William Reynolds Jr.; and a sister-in-law, Dorothy Hunchis.
The family gratefully acknowledges her many friends, especially Robert Kasel, Vera Northrup and Carolyn Johnson.
