After spending the first few years of their marriage in Alabama, the couple moved to Chattanooga and lived in the St. Elmo, White Oak and Red Bank communities.

Julia was an active member of Red Bank Baptist Church and retained her membership there until her death. As a senior, she participated in all the activities of the Senior Adult Ministry and very much enjoyed the fellowship and opportunities it offered (including visiting every state in the Union except Alaska). Another pleasure for her was as a "Prime Time Singer" in the senior adult choir.
