Julie Ann Broughton, age 65, passed away on April 5th, 2026, in Willard, Ohio. She was born on March 19th, 1961, in Attica, Ohio, to Richard and Marilyn (Martin) Ehresman.
Julie was a graduate of Seneca East High School and later graduated from Providence School of Nursing and Bowling Green State University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
Julie later made her home in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she built her family. She married Donald Broughton Jr. on May 22nd, 1993, and their son Aaron Broughton was born shortly after. Julie worked for the Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati and in home health. She took pride in her work and loved caring for her patients.
