Alicia Marie Julian (49) – Life is a journey full
of adventures and so much is unknown to us. One expects that as we
live our lives and have time to fulfill those lifelong dreams of
happiness. However, Alicia’s dreams of happiness with her
children and family were taken from her when she fell sick to an
illness that gave no warning. With Alicia’s mother and her
family by her side, she made her final journey to the spirit world on
November 25, 2021.
Born in Antigonish to Judy Bernard -Julian and the late
Albert Julian. She attended Centennial College in Toronto Ontario. She
worked in retail as a supervisor at the Home Depot store in
Scarborough for several years before returning to her home community
following the birth of her beautiful son. She then held the position
of the Social Development Director for Paqtnkek Mi’kmaw
Nation for 12 years.
Alicia often thought she wasn’t strong, but she was
the definition of the word as she fought until she didn’t
have anymore in her. She was our brilliant Mi’kmaw Woman who
was always up for an adventure whether that be a road trip to Ontario
with Nana and the kids, going out on the four-wheeler or just
cruising. Wherever she went, she always had a contagious friendly
smile for anyone she came across. It was her love of cooking that she
used to give back to her community always preparing meals for all
community functions. She took great care and pride in preparing meals
whenever she catered community functions and always asked for
feedback, wanting to perfect her dishes. Her children were her heart
and soul because whatever she did, she did for them. Much of her
downtime was spent with her kids, playing bingo, or dropping in on her
E.C. family. Win or lose it really didn’t matter because she
felt like the odds would be on her side eventually.
Besides her mother Judy Bernard-Julian she is survived
children Connor and Lyndsey, Bruce MacIsaac father of her children,
sister Juliana Julian (Mario George), sister Gail Marshall (Fred
Sylliboy), brothers, Colin Julian, Kolipie Julian of Paqtnkek and Jay
Julian (Leanne Googoo) of We’koqma’q, Godchildren,
Valerie Green, Kelsy Paul, Trent George, Odessa Henderson and close
friend Mike MacDonald.
She will be greatly missed by her many lifelong friends and
her ultimate BFF/sister Nancy Bernard
Predeceased by her father, Albert Julian, brother Stanley
Julian, sister Tara Julian, maternal grandmother Mary (Joe) Bernard
and paternal grandparents Theresa (Battiste) Julian and Freeman
Julian.
