 Born in Port Arthur, Texas, on September 7, 1982, she was the daughter of Andrew Carl Wingate and Sheila Marie Starr Wingate. Julianna was the typical “middle child” always playing referee for her siblings’ squabbles. She grew up attending St. Henry Catholic Church with her family. Julianna loved to cook and bake, and always made sure to have a batch of cupcakes ready for everyone’s birthday. Her favorite animals were frogs and cats, and in her spare time she often enjoyed watching Judge Judy, shopping, and creating art; especially her oil paintings. Julianna absolutely adored her daughter, Kerista, more than anything. Julianna chose to stay close to her family by living with her oldest brother. She was truly loved, and will be forever missed by her family and friends.
 She is preceded in death by her grandparents, Cecil F. Wingate and Dorothea June Woodside Wingate, Howell “Jeff” J. Starr and Videra “Pat” Luallen Starr.
 She is survived by parents, Andrew and Sheila Wingate; daughter, Kerista Buysse of Minnesota; siblings, Jon-Paul Wingate, Cynthia Wingate Montalvo, Janelle Wingate Buchannan, Max Wingate, Peter Clayton Wingate, Rebecca Wingate Barclay, and Michael Wingate.
 Serving as pallbearers will be Jon-Paul Wingate, Max Wingate, Peter Clayton Wingate, Michael Wingate, Isaac Montalvo, Brett Barclay, Marc Wernig, and Miquel Vela. Honorary pallbearers are Peter Wingate and Jeff Vandevender.
 The Wingate family would like to extend our gratitude to all the staff at Harbor Hospice for their attentiveness and loving care of Julianna.
 In lieu of flowers, people can make a donation in Julianna Wingate’s name to St. Mary’s Catholic Church or MD Anderson Cancer Hospital.
