Julia Ann (Woods) Ehrgott

Julia Ann Ehrgott, a force of nature, left this world on November 29, 2023, at the age of 81. Born on August 13, 1942, to Cecil Dale and Julia Antoniette Woods, Julia lived a life as vibrant and feisty as befit her personality.

Julia, a former cleaning supervisor for Merry Maids, was not your typical 9-to-5 personality. She was bold as the margaritas she enjoyed, and a sense of humor that could light up any room. Julia was the life of the party, and if there was laughter echoing, you could bet she was at the center of it, entertaining everyone with tales that often left them in stitches.

Unapologetically blunt, Julia proudly declared that she didn't take any nonsense from anybody. She stood up for herself and, true to her spirit, encouraged others to do the same. Julia was a fierce mama bear, defending her loved ones with unwavering dedication. Family gatherings, especially during Christmas, were her domain, where she hosted with unmatched enthusiasm.

Her love extended beyond her human family; Julia doted on her dogs as if they were her own flesh and blood. Milky, Barney, Star, and Sophia were more than pets—they were cherished members of the family.

Julia is survived by her loving children, Bruce (Kathy) Ehrgott, Richard (Dawn) Ehrgott, and Christine (Eddie) Simpson. Her grandchildren, Bruce "Bubba" (Lindsay) Ehrgott Jr, Megan (Randy) Schmidt, Sydney Ehrgott, and Shelby Ehrgott, and great-grandchildren, Austin Ehrgott, Brycen Schmidt, and Landon Schmidt, will carry on her legacy. Her sister, Kathy Geminden, and numerous nieces and nephews also mourn her passing.

Julia is preceded in death by her son, Daniel Allen Ehrgott Jr, and her siblings Doris Bunnell, Cecil "Bud" Woods, Kenneth Woods, Gerald "Buck" Woods, Janet Thompson, Wanda Holt, David Woods, and Rebecca Woods.

A celebration of Julia's life will be held at Fountain Square Cremation & Funeral Services on Sunday, December 3, 2023, at 3 PM, preceded by visitation from 1 PM until the service. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Julia's memory to the Indiana Masonic Home Foundation.

Julia Ann Ehrgott: a woman who laughed loudly, loved fiercely, and left a mark on the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her. May her spirit continue to shine bright in the memories and stories shared by those whose lives she touched.
