My name is Stefania and I'm a cousin of Anthony Ciraolo, close friend of the late Julie Ciraolo and a godmother to their 2 young girls.
On 30 August 2025, Julie was the victim of a tragic accident when she was struck in the emergency bay by a motorcyclist. Her husband and 2 daughters were fortunately physically unharmed after the motorcyclist struck Julie and their car, but witnessed the tragic accident occur.
Julie was rushed to the ICU at Liverpool Hospital but unfortunately succumbed to her injuries on 1 September 2025 surrounded by her family.
She leaves behind her loving husband, Anthony, and their two beautiful daughters aged 5 and 3.
She was an amazing mum, wife, sister, daughter and friend. Those who knew Julie knew how special she was. She lived for her family and loved being a wife and mother to two beautiful girls above all else. Every birthday and milestone brought her so much joy and she would always generously share the happiness these moments brought her with her loved ones. She was full of life, laughter and love and always eager to bring people together for celebrations.
Julie was a little pocket rocket with the biggest heart. The embodiment of big things coming in small packages. The way she juggled motherhood, family life, social life and her career all effortlessly and joyfully was nothing short of incredible and admirable.
The grief of her loss is profound. Words cannot express how much she will be missed by family and friends who will forever mourn the loss of the future memories she won't get to have.
No amount of money will ever be able to fill the void caused by this terrible tragedy, but those who would like to offer some financial support to the family by way of a donation can do so here.
The purpose of this fundraiser is to help cover costs that aren't already covered by insurance for Anthony and his young girls and ease the unfortunate reality of the financial burden to a young family that comes with the loss of their hardworking mother. We would like to stress, however, that donations are certainly not expected and only an option for those who feel compelled to help in this way.
Any donation, help, kind words and prayers are greatly appreciated during this difficult time.
If you would like to share a beautiful memory or photo you have with Julie, that would also be immensely appreciated and forever cherished.
The family is incredibly grateful for the immense support and kindness shown by all and has respecfully requested that those who did not know Julie and the family personally to kindly refrain from contacting them directly as we come to terms with this immeasurable loss.
