ASSMAN, Marie Helene Juliette Assman

She was known to all who loved her, passed away peacefully on November 26, 2025, at the age of 91. She was predeceased by her beloved husband of 65 years, Herb Assman, on November 21, 2024.

Born on April 6, 1934, in Leoville, Saskatchewan, Julie was one of ten children born to Arthur and Gabrielle Poulin. In her early twenties, she moved to Prince George, where she met the love of her life, Herb. They married in 1960, and together they built a life centred around family. Julie embraced life with gratitude and joy; she was the steady heart of our family and supported Dad through many adventures and a successful business. She cherished her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and her many siblings, nieces, and nephews and countless friends. With a spirit that saw the glass as always full, she taught us patience, kindness, strength, and most of all love.

Julie is lovingly remembered by her children: daughters, Beverly Assman (Michael Noonan) and Judy Neiser (Richard George), and her son, John Assman (Maureen); her grandchildren Michael (Angie) Neiser, Steven Neiser, Jennifer Neiser; Kenedy (Melissa) Assman, Bowen Assman, and Benett Assman; and her great-grandchildren, Hudson, Weston, Gracen, and Shea. She is also survived by her sisters Muriel Leblanc and Jeannine Albach; brother-in-law, Ken Kania; and sister-in-law, Donna McBurney (Terry). Julie was predeceased by her son-in-law Cal Neiser; her grandson Sean Noonan; her brothers, Candide, Laurier, Lionel, and Philip; and sisters Carmel Seierstad (Frechette), Alice Bourassa, and Louise Kania; along with her parents.

At this time, the family has chosen to honour our mother’s memory privately. To those who knew her, we invite you to raise a toast in her honour and remember her warmth, gentle humour, kindness, and generous spirit.

Mom, we miss you dearly. We smile knowing you, Dad, and those who went before you are together again in eternity.
