Julia Florence Wynne
September 10, 1991 – October 13, 2024
Julia Florence Wynne of Seattle, WA, formerly of Lansdale, PA, passed away unexpectedly in the early morning hours of Sunday, October 13th. Julia lived a life of love, adventure, joy, passion, kindness, and fun, leaving a lasting mark on the countless people she met throughout her vibrant 33 years.
Though Julia had many passions, including music, nature, bead-making, whale-watching, and adventure, her greatest joy came from being a mother. There was very little that her son Franklin could do that did not fill Julia’s heart with blissful giggles that brightened up the room. She and Franklin adored each other, and both were always smiling as they spent their time making unforgettable memories, with their loving labradoodle Jockamo, by their side.
In her professional life, Julia was a devoted speech and language pathologist, beloved by her students and coworkers alike. Through both work and play, she had a profound ability to make people feel seen and heard. Julia had a unique gift for connecting with others; whether she’d known them for years or was meeting them for the very first time, her warmth and kindness made everyone feel like they belonged in her world.
Julia was a fierce, daring soul who never met an obstacle she could not overcome. Whether exploring the world or enjoying a quiet moment in a local café, there is no question that Julia lived life to the fullest, finding pure joy in every moment.
In addition to her son, Franklin Simtob, Julia is survived by her parents Francis and Patricia Wynne; her brothers Sean (Katherine), Patrick, Thomas, and Matthew Wynne; Franklin’s father, Aaron Simtob; Franklin’s grandparents Becky Lindsay and Solomon Simtob, and her loyal canine companion Jockamo. She will forever live on in the hearts of her family and friends.
A Funeral Mass will be held to celebrate Julia joining the choir invisible on Saturday October 26th beginning promptly at 1:00pm at St. Stanislaus Church, 51 Lansdale Ave. Lansdale, PA 19446. Julia’s family will greet friends from 10:00am to 12:30pm in church prior to Mass. All who knew and loved Julia are welcome to join in celebrating her life.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a trust fund for Franklin managed by Julia’s parents. All payments will go directly to Franklin. Payment options include Venmo (@Franklin-Fund), Zelle (wynnef (at) verizon (dot) net), or check. Please reach out to Julia’s father Francis with any questions or concerns.
I will be ever grateful for the hard work , passion, struggles, patience, and beauty imbued in the Love Julia shared throughout her life and most especially her friendship with our daughter.
Memory eternal!

So sorry to hear this heartbreaking and tragic news. I worked closely with Julia during her time as a speech therapist in Central Bucks. She was loved by her students, parents, faculty members, and the entire speech department. She was always so professional, kind, and caring to every person she came in contact with. Julia also taught me many things and helped me become a better therapist. She will be truly missed by so many people. A “Speechies Angel” in heaven!
