Julie Carr D’Agostino, 22, of Elmhurst, passed away on Friday August 7th, surrounded by her loving family and friends. Beloved daughter of Mario and Mary Carr D’Agostino, loving sister to Michael, Kevin, Elizabeth (fiancé Ryan Hogan), Carly, and twin sister Natalie. Adored niece, cousin, and friend to many, loyal companion to her dogs Tino and Kiwi.
Deemed “Warrior Princess”, Julie fought a brave and courageous battle to the end, always maintaining a positive attitude and never wanting to give up despite the overwhelming obstacles in her way. In her short life, Julie achieved a PhD (Personally her Degree) in design, fashion, cooking, organizing, crafting and hosting. She will always be remembered for her strength, resilience, loyalty, love of Meryl Streep, fondness of shopping and all things “pink”. We know heaven is a little “pinker” with her in it.
Julie was a gift to all that had the fortune of knowing her and left a lasting impression on everyone she met. She lit up the world with her smile and lit up the stage with her singing, dancing and acting. May she enjoy the new stage she is on in heaven, entertaining the saints and angels and her dear Nonna who she is now with.
Too numerous to list, her family wishes to thank all of those who helped Julie on her journey, prayed for her strength and worked tirelessly to find comfort for her.
Friends and family will meet for a Mass of Christian Burial Wednesday, August 12, 2015, 11:00 a.m. at Visitation Catholic Church, 779 South York Road, (SE corner of York and Madison), Elmhurst.
