Julie Bennett Self, 61, of Hixson, TN passed away Monday, May 9, 2022 guided by family and friends who went before her.

Julie was a mom to everyone she ever met. She loved rock music, concerts and traveling. She lived for hugs and kisses from those she loved the most which included her once in a lifetime love (Jerry), her children, grandchildren and friends all around the world.  Julie with her infectious smile was the glue that held a hodgepodge of misfit family and friends together. She would do anything for those she knew. Julie's best quality though, was her ability to lend a hand even to those she didn't know.

Julie was born in Hamilton, Ohio in 1960. She was the 5th of 8 children. She was preceded in death by her parents Ann Martindill and Richard Bennett, her sister Susan Chasteen, and her grandson Kian Yarber.

She is survived by her loving husband, Jerry; her son Ian Maclellan (Amy) and daughter Heather Maclellan (Michael Yarber); "my kids" Joshua Self (Julia) and Wendy Rogers (Sean); 7 grandchildren she adored with all her heart, Kaleb Simpson, Isabella Self, Olivia Self, Kenzie Rogers, Paisley Yarber, Easton Rogers and Oliver Yarber; her brothers and sister; Mike Bennett (Sha), Steve Bennett (Linda), Rick Bennett (Becky), Tim Bennett, Mark Bennett (Elaine), and Marybeth Rollins (Jacob); numerous nieces, nephews and many family and friends.
