Julie (Ingle) Stephens died unexpectedly on October 5th at her home in Centerton, Arkansas at the age of 40. She was born December 1, 1983, in Phoenix, Arizona.

Julie graduated from Lakeside High school in Atlanta, Georgia in 2002. After graduation she moved to  Bella Vista, Arkansas and became a registered CNA and a hospital tech prior to having children. She worked at St. Mary's Hospital (Rogers, AR), Concordia Retirement Community (Bella Vista, AR) and worked for Wal-Mart Transportation (Bentonville, AR).

Julie married the love of her life Keith Stephens on April 18, 2009, in Pineville, Missouri.

Julie loved her boys more than anything in the world, she wanted nothing more than to be a mom. She loved spending time with her family and friends, and loved with all her heart, always willing to give a helping hand to anyone at any time. Julie was an outdoors woman who loved spending time at deer camp, fishing, swimming, canoeing, anything outdoors in the sunshine. Her sense of humor was fantastic, and her hugs would make anyone's day better. She was never afraid to express herself, if she loved you, you felt it. Julie had many friends through her life, such as, Jordan Ligon, Dave and Eva Beck, and Linda Holder along with many more.

Julie believed in God; we know she is looking down upon us in heaven and that we will see her again. Her presence on this earth left a positive impact on anyone she encountered, and we will miss her terribly.

Julie was preceded in death by her grandfather, Glenn Tracy, Sr; grandparents, Robert & Jané Ingle of Conyers, GA; and her aunt, Kathy Tracy of Hutchinson ,KS.

Julie is survived by her parents, Tom and Debbie Ingle of Bella Vista, AR; her loving husband, Keith Stephens; her sons, Matthew (age 9), and Riley (age 5) Stephens; sisters, Christina Weir (Kelly) of Powder Springs, GA and Laura Reagan (Joseph) of Moline, IL; brother, John Ingle of Atlanta, GA; grandmother, Marjorie Tracy of Bella Vista, AR;  as well as many uncles, aunts, cousins and loved ones.

A memorial service will be held at 2:00 PM on Friday, October 11, 2024, at Bella Vista Funeral Home, 2258 Forest Hills Blvd, Bella Vista, AR with a friends and family gathering to follow at Old Time Park pavillion, 110 Park Drive, Gravette, AR 72736. A live stream of the memorial service will be on Facebook. Julie's favorite color was purple, we request anyone able to make it to her memorial to wear something purple in her memory. Julie was a down to earth person so her service will be very casual.
