Julie Wakefield Morrison

1969 - 2020

Julie Wakefield Morrison passed peacefully away on January 17, 2020 in her home surrounded by family. She passed when she was 50 years old.

Julie was born to Dan Whitesides Wakefield and Claudia Kuhni on June 22, 1969. Her childhood was one that many may envy. She spent numerous summers on the island of Samoa with her father and grew to love the people there. She spent the other time of her childhood growing up in Fairview, UT. She was viewed by her cousins as being very carefree, very fun, and very creative. She was always making up new games that she and the cousins could play together. While in Fairview, she discovered her love for animals, namely horses. She was always riding them around and eventually entered into rodeos where she excelled at barrel racing, wining numerous awards. During her time in rodeos, she met the love of her life, Tracy Morrison. They met in 1989 and were lifelong friends. They eventually married in October of 2003. Together, they raised their four children. The oldest, Rebecca and Matthew, were from a previous marriage. The youngest, Alex and Traci, they had together. They were all raised with a tender heart of love. Julie was always looking to see how she could make her children’s lives better, no matter the cost. Her children grew to appreciate all of the great things they had learned. The family loved spending time camping together and in the kitchen with her daughters. Julie is preceded in death by her grandpa Lynn and grandma Helen-who she often called “mom”. She is survived by her father and mother, Brother Danny Wakefield, her husband Tracy, and her four children – Rebecca (Irving Torres), Matthew (Jessica), Alex, and Traci - and two grandchildren.

Funeral services will be held Monday, January 27 at 11 AM. We will have a graveside service followed by a memorial where all are invited to share their experiences they had with Julie. This will be held at the LDS chapel located at 1474 East 800 South in Provo, UT.
