Julie Horwedel Fish

March 3, 1954 - October 31, 2024 Born March 3, 1954 in Oregon, Julie was raised in San Bernardino, California. She lived her married and early professional life in Santa Monica and Carlsbad finally coming to live in La Jolla where she passed away peacefully on October 31st, 2024. Julie earned a BA degree in Fine Arts and soon after married Robert Fish, also from San Bernardino. The couple lived briefly in Santa Monica then moved to Carlsbad in the early 1980's. Julie and Bob spent several years in Carlsbad living alongside an old Eucalyptus forest named Hosp Grove. Julie worked as a Title Rep for Ticor Title, often entertained her out-of-town nieces and nephews and was always working on some kind of home improvement project. Julie was a fine artist creating beautiful paintings, tile work and glass blowing. With her artistic flair she enhanced and beautified her home and surroundings from home decor to her two green thumbs and gardening, and a variety of delightful DIY projects. She was popular among the children in her neighborhood and especially enjoyed entertaining her nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly. Julie was a social activist. When the Hosp Eucalyptus Grove was up for development in 1985-1986 Julie spearheaded The Neighborhood Alliance to Save Hosp Grove. The Alliance consisted of friends, neighbors and Community leaders. Because of Julie's hard work gaining enough signatures to put the Grove purchase by the City on the ballot - Hosp Grove was saved and stands today as a beautiful 88 acre park and trail system alongside the Buena Vista Lagoon at Carlsbad's northern gateway. A big accomplishment for a young 32 year old woman. In later years Julie moved to La Jolla where she was a personal assistant, caregiver, property manager, house sitter and pet sitter. Julie took time to care for those in need be them friends or the homeless. She was able to assemble aid to people through churches and social assistance programs. When her sister, Kristi Wood became ill, Julie lived with and cared for her for the last 5 years of her life. Julie was a well known pet whisperer and a beloved friend to many. Those who were blessed to be loved by her continue to miss her every day. She will live on in our memories and always be in our hearts. Julie's Celebration of Life will be Saturday March 1st at the La Jolla Christian Fellowship Chapel at 2:00pm. La Jolla Christian Fellowship Chapel 627 Genter Street La Jolla, California 92037
