Julie Kaney

Julie Ann (O'Loughlin) Kaney, age 50, passed away at UW Hospital following a brief illness. She was born in Milwaukee, WI to Dennis and Kay O'Loughlin, little sister to John and Jim. The family moved to the Middleton area when Julie was 2 years old, where Julie was raised with her cousin/best friend/sister from another mother, Nicki. Julie was a proud graduate of Middleton High School and The University of Wisconsin Madison.

In 2001 she was united in marriage to John Kaney; together they welcomed sons, John and Joseph. She was an avid sports fan who enjoyed watching her boys compete. She loved camping, boating and anything in the sun with family, especially the O'Loughlin family trips to Mexico. She was a regular at the Middleton Good Neighbor Festival. She was the bright light at any gathering. She will be greatly missed by her entire family and many friends.

Julie is survived by her husband, John; her sons, John and Joseph; her father, Dennis (Sara) O'Loughlin; her mother, Kay O'Loughlin; her brothers, John (Sue) O'Loughlin and Jim O'Loughlin; and nephews, Bradly and Jacob O'Loughlin.
