Julie Ann (Tyler) Allison

Julie Ann (Tyler) Allison passed away peacefully at home on 9 Nov 2026, following a long valiant battle with metastatic breast cancer of the bones. Julie was born on 7 July 1960 in Pocatello, Idaho, to Ted L. and Margaret Rogers Tyler. Julie was proud of her family heritage. She was the third of six children and loved her personalized license plate “TEDSKD3” (Ted’s kid #3). As a child, the family moved from Pocatello to Fargo, North Dakota, then across the bridge over the Red River to Moorhead, Minnesota. Julie’s memories include the large mosquitoes in the summer and the heavy snow and extreme cold of the winter. When she was 12 years old the family moved to be near her grandparents in San Diego, California; finding residence in North County’s small town of Poway. Julie was a member of the Class of 1978, the first four-year graduating class from Mt. Carmel High School. She enjoyed playing viola in the school orchestra and was an excited member of the prep squad.

Julie met Bruce K.E. Allison of San Diego at an LDS Young Adult dance. They had similar interests in music and began their relationship by exchanging cassette tapes of bands with a promise to meet at the next dance to swap back. After a couple months, Bruce invited Julie to join him at the park while he spent time with his son, Trevan. Julie quickly agreed and they had a picnic at Lake Poway. When Bruce returned his son from the visit, Trevan told his mom he had a new girlfriend and her name was Julie. 14 months later, Julie and Bruce were sealed for eternity on 5 Aug 1991 in the Los Angeles LDS Temple. Julie yearned for more children, however, endometriosis prevented that from happening naturally. In 1996, Lynne, a dear friend of Julie’s, recommended them to San Diego County Foster Care. Within days they were approved and blessed to receive a sibling set, Ryan Phillip (deceased) and Miranda Lynne. When the two were eligible for adoption, they jumped at the chance. Shortly afterward, they received another foster sibling set in Bradley Scott and Kristen Marie, whom they were also able to adopt. Julie loved being a mother and was amazing at it. She counted her children as her greatest blessing. The Allisons made their life in Poway, California until 2005 when they moved to Lehi, Utah. The move allowed them to live closer to their extended families.

Julie was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and has a strong and loving testimony of her Savior, Jesus Christ. It was evident in the way she lived, being a friend to all. Julie has so many ‘best friends’ and made all feel truly like they were the only ones that mattered. She had a special gift to be able to bind up the wounds of the broken-hearted time and time again. Julie served in many capacities in the church. Her favorite was always working with the young women. She was a valiant servant of God, knowing she is first a daughter of a loving Heavenly Father.

She was taught by her parents the value of hard work and had a great work ethic. Before children came into her life she enjoyed working at Hertz Rent-a-Car, Trevelyan Oldsmobile, J. Muller International as assistant to the President. After her first bout with breast cancer in 2018 and the children were all grown, Julie went back to work at Redstone Residential in Provo. Lastly, at Bruce’s request, she left Redstone to come work with him in the growing family business; Visiting Angels of Salt Lake City. Julie’s organizational skills put the office in order and made Bruce’s life easier. They enjoyed working together until her final diagnosis in 2021. Many of Julie’s friends through life have come from wonderful associations through service in church and work. She’s never met a stranger and seems to love people wherever she went. It is evident in the many people who wanted to see her one last time over these last couple months. She welcomed each one and was gracious even though she didn’t like not having her hair and makeup done to perfection.

Julie loved to ski, especially with her cousin and “skibuddy”, Tom Johnson. She also loved to shop, having a generous shoe collection and later sweatshirts and hats from all her travels. Julie’s dad was a bakery in the Navy, and he shared his skills with her. She mastered his cinnamon rolls and surpassed his pie crust.

With Julie’s terminal diagnosis, Bruce cut back his hours at the office and together they began to travel. Asking Julie where she wanted to go, she gave him a list of places where she had dear friends. Bruce made sure they made trips to visit Peggy in Kentucky, the Doughty’s in Florida, Elaine, Linda and Ginger in California, Jill in Arizona, and Susan in South Carolina and many others. They also went to Europe with their granddaughter, and a couple times to Hawaii with family or friends. Julie enjoyed being a road warrior in their Grand Design 5th wheel, traveling across the country and making new friends. She enjoyed the caravan travel with their close group of RV friends. In her final years, Julie was able to live life to the fullest.

Julie has left to prepare the way for her sweet husband, Bruce, who has cared for her unceasingly these past years. He has been a stellar example of love and devotion helping make the very best memories together before she was called Home. Surviving Julie are their children; Trevan, Miranda, and Kristen of Salt Lake City, and Bradley of Lehi, her grand-daughter, Reiley Lynnae of Escondido, CA, her siblings; Ronald Lee Tyler of Valdese, NC, Mark Lawrence Tyler of Provo, UT, Scott Douglas (Janet) Tyler of Washington, UT, Pamela (Brian) Tuft of Springville, UT, T. Michael (Julie) Tyler of Taylorsville, UT, and many in-laws, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends that she loved dearly. She will be welcomed home by Ryan, her parents, and many loved ones who have gone on ahead. We extend special thanks to Huntsman Cancer Institute and all the specialists and staff that provide her with exceptional dedication, care and compassion. Also, Dignity Hospice, for their perfect care of Julie in her last months; especially her nurse Sam. Until we meet again…
