Julie was born June 12, 1931 in Bradford, Yorkshire England to George William Maxfield and Phillis Standage Maxfield. She had two older sisters Freda and Dorothy.

Julie grew up during the Second World War in Great Britain. She was active in the Girl Guides as a girl & enjoyed camping and hiking. After school she went to work at a chemist shop (pharmacy) until she met the love of her life John Cable on New Year’s Eve of 1952. Julie and John had four children, Michael, David, Christine & Mary. In 1963 they emigrated to the United States of America for John to work at ARO. Julie got involved in Scouting and the family joined Trinity Lutheran Church.

The family became Naturalized American Citizens in 1969 in a ceremony attended by many Boy & Girl Scouts. Julie was heavily involved in Girl Scouting, being Association Chairman, on the camp committee, and troop leader to many girls, taking them on adventures and also to the World Center in Mexico.

After retirement Julie & John enjoyed traveling the world, entertaining grandchildren and researching their family history.
