Juli was born to Arvid and Bernice (Toop) Anderson on December 7, 1964. Juli was raised in and around St. George and the New Ulm areas. She attended New Ulm High School. After high school she went on to receive her Nurses Degree, working at various facilities and nursing homes. She was a true caregiver. Later she opened P & J Framing shop in Gibbon and also was a partner and bookkeeper at Gibbon Lumber and Hardware for many years.

In 2016, Juli met Dan Filzen, they immediately hit it off and fell deeply in love! Juli joined Dan at his home in Redwood Falls. They were married on August 2, 2018.

Juli was an avid Minnesota Vikings fan throughout her whole life. While watching Vikings’ games on TV, she would try to communicate with the Vikings coach and players and at times became somewhat animated.

She enjoyed feeding and watching birds, along with other animals in her back yard in Redwood Falls. She loved having visitors and grilling. She especially loved when grandchildren came to spend the weekend, whether it was playing card or board games, making snow angels in the front yard or drawing chalk figures in the drive way with them.

Juli is survived by her husband, Dan, and the father of her children, daughter, Shanon Lott (special friend Jared Zamzow) of Lafayette, daughter, Jill (Joe) Eaton of Gibbon, son, Dustin Reinhart (special friend Cassie Torres) of Fairmont, and daughter, Anna (Eli) Hughes of New Ulm.

She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Leroy (in infancy), Dayton, Duane and Kenneth Anderson.

Blessed be her memory.
