Julia Colvin, 105, a long-time resident of Rochester, died Thursday, December 3, 2020 at Madonna Towers.

She was born December 22, 1914 in Beulah, North Dakota, and moved to Rochester in 1936 to be employed at Saint Marys Hospital. It was in Rochester that Julia met her husband-to-be Arthur 'Art' Colvin. They married on March 26, 1940 and enjoyed 66 years of marriage. Together they especially liked to dance, play cards, travel, and spend time with family and friends. Julia also enjoyed crocheting blankets for her grandchildren along with other craft hobbies. Art and Julia were long time members of Saint Francis Catholic Church, and in more recent years, Pax Christi Catholic Church.

They moved to Madonna Meadows in 2005. Shortly after the move, Art passed away on December 3, 2006 and Julia has resided there until present time.

She is survived by her sister, Marie Price; two sons, Ronald (Lee) of Livermore, CA, and Larry of Brooklyn Park, MN; a daughter, Joanne (Gene) Walters of Dover, MN; six grandchildren, and nine great grandchildren.

Along with Art, Julia is preceded in death by an infant son, a brother, and a sister.
