Forever in Our Hearts

Biographie



Thank you dear family, friends, and visitors for visiting this site.

Julie Wei was our beloved daughter, sister, aunt, niece, granddaughter, colleague, and friend. She was a graduate of Lowell High ('01), UCLA ('05), and UC Davis School of Law - King Hall ('08). Among other things, she was a San Francisco native, a UCLA Chi Alpha Delta sister, and a real estate attorney at McGuireWoods LLP in Century City, where she was a zealous advocate for her clients and was dedicated to the firm's Food from the Bar campaign and pro bono work. She loved dogs, documentaries, international travel, fine whiskeys, the Giants, hiking, and scuba diving. She was a fashionista, a foodie, and most of all, a fiercely devoted and loyal friend.

In early 2015, Julie was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), a relatively rare but aggressive oral cancer. She underwent surgeries to remove the tumor in her salivary gland. Unfortunately, in 2016, she learned that the cancer had returned and had spread to her liver. Under the care of her oncology team, Julie underwent additional surgeries, chemotherapy, and other treatments to combat the disease, while continuing to work and travel the world. Beginning in September 2017, Julie devoted the time she had remaining to focusing on her health, family, and friends.

Those of us lucky enough to have known her well know that Julie was kind, determined, and scrappy, with a wicked sense of humor. Julie didn’t shy away from speaking her mind (or from anything for that matter). Those of us who witnessed firsthand her journey through cancer have been awed by the strength and resilience she exhibited throughout - all of us undoubtedly with the same realization that only Julie could and would have fought the disease with such poise, grace, and dignity. Even in some of her toughest moments, Julie strapped on her fiercest pair of boots, and she found a way to laugh.

On November 2, 2017, Julie passed at home with her family by her side. She is survived by her mother, father, and brothers Eric and Gary.

If you'd like to share your memories with Julie, we invite you to do so on this site. For those who would like to learn more about ACC, please check out this New York Times article featuring another courageous young woman battling the disease: https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/06/19/sports/chemotherapy-then-the-us-championshipsfor-gabriele-grunewald.html. If you would like to make a donation in Julie's memory, we thank you for honoring her with donations to Planned Parenthood and/or SPCA, two organizations that support causes Julie cared deeply about.

I don't have a picture of Julie and me but we went out for a period of time years ago in LA...I found this page because of the affect she had on me. Still thinking of her and how she was doing in life. It's 12/25/19 and I'm finding out two years after her passing and it was a punch in the gut. She was an amazing woman who I have a great deal of respect for. My condolences to the family and please know that I'm sure she touched many lives like she did mine.
