As a mom in the early 2000s, Julie Rank loved children and often took foster kids into her care. This is just one example of Julie’s compassionate nature.
Julie was also working as a nurse. She is described as the type of person who truly thrives on taking care of others.
Julie was also struggling with her health during this time. She had been diagnosed with Type I diabetes and used an insulin pump. She also was suffering from a condition known as “Adhesive Capsulitis”, which is also called ‘Frozen Shoulder’. This condition left her with chronic pain, although she wasn’t letting it slow her down.
In 2005, Julie and her husband at that time would divorce. They had two special needs boys together, and Julie continued to be a devoted mother.
Almost immediately, Julie remarried a man named Cregg Earley. Their marriage started good, but soon those closest to Julie noticed her change. At one point, she attempted to get a protective order against Cregg, telling her family she was afraid of him.
