Julie A. Mau, 1951-2009
January 28, 2009
Julie
A. Mau, 57, of Klemme, Iowa,
died on Sunday, January 18,
2009, at the Mercy Medical
Center-North Iowa, Mason City,
following a courageous and
valiant battle with cancer.
Funeral services were held on
Saturday, January 24, at the
Klemme United Methodist Church.
The Rev. Donna Buckman
officiated. Burial was in the
Memorial Park Cemetery, Mason
City. The Andrews Funeral Home,
Klemme, was in charge of the
arrangements. Those wishing to
express their sympathies through
a memorial in Julie's name may
wish to consider the Hospice of
North Iowa, the Klemme United
Methodist Church, or their own
choice.
Julie Ann Yakel, the daughter of
Roland and Luella Theimann
Yakel, was born on March 11,
1951 at Klemme, Iowa, one of
three children to bless this
union. The Rev. Vernon E. Jaberg
baptized Julie on April 1, 1951.
Julie attended Klemme Schools,
where she participated in Music
and Arts. In 1966, she was
confirmed by the Rev. Geo.
Behrens. Julie graduated from
the Klemme High School with the
Class of 1969.
Shortly after graduating she
moved to St. Paul, Minnesota,
where she lived for a time with
her aunt. During her years in
the Twin Cities she was employed
at the Deluxe Check Corporation
for 20 years. During this time
she was united in marriage to
Eugene Pasch and the couple's
union was blessed with a son,
Trevor and a daughter, Mandie.
Four and one-half years later, a
second daughter, Kathryn was
born. Julie and Eugene were
eventually divorced. She later
moved back to Klemme, where she
made her home for the remainder
of her life.
Julie was united in marriage to
Danny Mau and the couple spent
many wonderful years together.
During this time they had done
some traveling on various
business trips to Las Vegas,
Kentucky, St. Louis, and several
other places. Julie and Danny
were divorced in 2003, though
they remained very strong in
their bond for one another.
Julie was employed with A & I in
Klemme from 1995 until 2005, at
which time she was forced to
retire from the company due to
her health complications.
Her passion for life and placing
the needs of others before her
own was a life long trait.
Though she had been employed
throughout much of her life, the
vocation she relished the most
was being a mom and grandma, and
homemaker. Her children,
grandchildren, siblings, and
other family were always
foremost in her life journey.
She always strived to provide
for their needs and was proud to
recognize them in any
accomplishments in their lives
no matter how large or small.
Julie looked forward to family
celebrations of any kind and
loved to celebrate birthdays
with her sister. She looked
forward to visits with her
family in South Dakota and
recently had made this trek even
as her health declined rapidly.
Her passion and love for her
family could not be impeded by
her fight against cancer. Her
family and friends will miss her
upbeat personality, heartwarming
smile, the twinkle, in her eyes,
and her gift of making others
feel good, even when she may not
be at her best health wise.
Julie's gift and love of art was
a life long talent. She shared
this in creation of many things
including a drawing of the
Klemme United Methodist Church
for its Centennial Celebration.
Her skills and eye for creating
works, attention to the smallest
details, and passion for this
life long love lead her to
handcraft, cross-stitch, and
design stitched pillow cases,
wall hanging, and other items
made with her loving hands. Her
eye for the greater picture and
innovative mind brought with it
a continual love of changing the
look of her home. She would
often design her own decor, or
at times journey out on one of
her favorite pastimes of
shopping excursions and then
return home and create her own
innovations and look for the
items she had purchased. She
absolutely loved to make things
her own.
Her family remembers Julie's
fondness for the color red,
whether it began in the days of
her favorite red Gran Torino,
her clothes, or any of a variety
of other areas in her life, this
love of red often shown through
as brightly as her heart which
was filled with joy and fun.
Julie was a longtime member of
the Klemme United Methodist
Church and served as the church
treasurer for many years, as
well as fulfilling the role of a
Sunday School Teacher. In later
years as she was faced with her
battle against cancer she dove
deeply into her Bible studies
and became very passionate in
her faith.
Those who had the privilege of
having Julie in their life and
the honor of crossing through
life's journey will remember her
caring ways, uplifting attitude,
humbleness, and unselfish
compassions towards the needs of
others. She was very charitable
and supported many, many
organizations and causes. She
was not one who needed the
spotlight or recognition of her
deeds and giving. One of her
most priceless gifts to those
who were in her presence was how
to face terminal illness and
bumps in the road with dignity
and determination. Julie's
passion for life and living
could not be extinguished even
in her battle with her health
decline.
Julie's life and legacy will
live on in the memories of her
son, Trevor Roland and his wife,
Darla Pasch of Yankton, South
Dakota; daughters, Mandie Sue
and Noah Reed of Kanawha and
Kathryn Marie Turnbull of
Klemme; four grandchildren, Jada
Joann Woolridge of Forest City,
Taylar Ann Pasch of Yankton,
South Dakota, Riley Julie Reed
of Kanawha and Shelby Alana
Steig of Klemme; her sister,
Susan Irene Larson and her
husband, Marion of Woonsocket,
South Dakota; her brother, Randy
Roland Yakel and his wife Kathy
of Garner; the "love of her
life" and best friend, Danny Mau
of Klemme; and two nieces, Amy
Miiller and her husband, Richard
of Woonsocket, South Dakota and
Tracy Bird and her husband,
Corey of Sioux Falls, South
Dakota.
Also surviving are Julie's
step-children, Devon Mau and his
wife, Jayme and their son, Devon
Love II of Urbandale, Danielle
Mau-Sear and her husband, Connor
and their child, Nico of Kansas
City, Missouri and Dillon Mau of
Rochester, Minnesota; and
countless friends.

her parents, Roland and Luella.
