WINTER GARDEN, Fla. — It is with great sadness that the family of Julianne Gorham, 56, announces her passing after a brief illness, on Tuesday February 6, 2018.
Juli will be lovingly remembered by not only her immediate family, but also her extended family that includes her aunts and uncles as well as her very close cousins. Julianne’s extended family reaches out to her Florida friends and family, her St. Maurice Parish family, her Disney World family, her Springfield College family, her Wakefield High School family and her many God-children. Julianne made sure to be a part of each of their lives and was equally loved by them.
Born in Stoneham on December 25, 1961, (the best gift of all) she was the daughter of Barbara J. (Keane) Ciullo and the late Gerard Gorham and was blessed to have Robert Ciullo as her second father. Both Barbara and Robert Ciullo are from Springvale, Maine.
In addition to her parents, Julianne is survived by her loving sister Linda (Gorham) Stackhouse and her husband Mark of Wakefield and her brother David Ciullo and his wife Doreen of Springvale, Maine. She is also survived by her niece Jordan Stackhouse and two nephews Michael and Joey Stackhouse all of Wakefield.
She always had a special place for family and friends in her heart. Her unconditional love was unmatched. She was proud to be a part of each of our lives and loved watching all the children connected to family and friends grow and blossom. She loved working at Disney so much and enjoyed the time she could spend with anyone who visited the area. She was very protective of her princesses and took pride in staying in that Magical moment. She especially loved telling all the families close to her all about what was happening in the park regarding new features, new characters, new rides, etc. She was selected as God-Mother to so many of our children because of who she was. She loved each of her God-children so much and was so proud of them. She will be an angel watching over them forever. Listen for her, she will figure out a way to connect.
Julianne was a graduate of Wakefield High School, Class of 1979 and Springfield College, Class of 1983. She had been a resident of Florida for the past 32 years. Julianne was the former owner of Gorjus Photos in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and had also worked as a photographer for Walt Disney World.
Juli had faith and love for God. She is at peace and many angels embraced her on her way up to heaven. We are certain of that.
Julianne will be celebrated and blessed with two masses.
Her funeral Mass will be celebrated at Most Blessed Sacrament 1155 Main Street, Wakefield, on Saturday April 14, at 10:30 a.m. The Interment will be at Forest Glade Cemetery in Wakefield, followed by a Celebration of life.
On April 28, Julianne will have a memorial Mass at St. Maurice at Resurrection Catholic Church 441 NE 2nd St. Dania Beach, Fla., at 11 a.m.
