Julie Marie Tingley (Bressett), a devoted mother, community leader, and passionate advocate for women and children, passed away unexpectedly on April 6, 2025, at the age of 44 in her hometown of Tampa, Florida.

Born on November 28, 1980, in Vero Beach, Florida, Julie was a proud graduate of Vero Beach High School and Stetson University.

Julie was a member of Christ the King Catholic Church and a guiding light in her community. She helped launch KNOW Women in both Tampa and St. Petersburg, Florida—an initiative dedicated to empowering and elevating female entrepreneurs. She was also the visionary behind Wee Macree, a give-back collective designed to support families and children in need.
