  Also surviving her is a special niece Daisey Diggins who would cause Julia's eyes to light up at knowing that she was stopping by to do her hair or cook her favorite dish; brothers- in- law Jerry Lane of Lafayette, LA, Douglas Lane of Houston, TX, and O.D. Diggins, Sr. of South Bend; sisters -in- law Ernestine Steward of South Bend and Bobbie Coleman of Minden, LA along with special friends that she loved dearly, Bill and Alma Powell and Toni and Fran Wisnieski and a host of relatives and friends.
