In Memory

Julie Ann Cook (Huguet) - Class of 1976

Julie Ann Cook Huguet passed away at her home Tuesday, August 21, 2007. Julie was born April 4, 1958, in Dingle, Idaho, to Dean and Pearl Cook. The youngest of three children, Julie attended schools in Montpelier, Idaho.

After high school she worked at the Montpelier News Examiner for a year, then moved to Rock Springs, Wyoming, securing a job with Mountain Bell Telephone Company as a loan officer. She traveled all over the state, by herself, trouble-shooting for the company.

Julie married Mark Huguet on December 18, 1982. They were blessed with two sons, Michael and Ryan.
Julie was a country girl living in the city. Her love in life was the Cook family farm, located on a strip of the Oregon Trail in Southeastern Idaho. She was always thrilled to have all the family out to Dingle for the holidays. When she told stories of her childhood memories on the farm she would make it seem perfect. From riding horses with her parents to camping up in the mountains with her family, she did it all.

She was truly an outdoors girl, always ready for adventure, whether it was huckleberry picking, snow skiing, water skiing, rafting down wild rivers, hiking or biking. She loved all of God’s creatures, great and small. Julie also loved spending time at their cabin on Noxon Reservoir, Mont., where they could fish and boat and just enjoy watching the deer that were always on their lawn.

Besides her love for adventure, she had a love of knowledge. She was very intelligent, graduating in the honor society of Bear Lake High School. She was also very attractive in appearance and personality. She loved her friends, but most of all her family. Her goal in life was to give her children the same childhood that she had.

A big part of Julie’s life was her membership in the LDS Church. She was a very faithful and generous person. Often she would bear her testimony to her family and friends, letting them know of her faith in her Heavenly Father. She would also do her best to get her son, Ryan, to go to church, even though services were early in the morning.

Her spirituality was certainly not lacking, and she will always be numbered among God’s children. Julie was a kind and loving soul and will be very much missed by her family and friends. We only wish we could have kept her with us longer.

Julie is survived by former husband, Mark; sons, Michael (Naomi Yarlott) and Ryan; and grandson, Pasqal; brother, Rusty (Jan) Cook; sister, Carol (Joel) Smith; mother- and father-in-law, Donna and Claude Huguet; brothers-in-law Kevin, Ron (Rhonda) and Jim (Connie); and sisters-in law, Kathie Peterson (Curt), Janet Sproull (Scott) and Jennifer Huguet (John); and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents, Dean and Dorothy Pearl Cook, brothers-in-law, Mike and Rob, and nephew, Jesse. 
Services for Julie will be at the LDS Church on Bancroft in Missoula at 2 p.m., Saturday, August 25, with a reception following. Her family will then accompany her to Montpelier, Idaho for a viewing Sunday evening, August 26 from 7 to 9 p.m.at Matthews Mortuary, with a graveside service and burial at the Dingle Cemetery on Monday morning, August 27 at 11 a.m.
