Julaine’s Obituary Julaine (Cramer) Kern, age 81, passed away peacefully, on Friday, August 2, 2019, at her home in Barryton, when her heart finally gave out after loving so many people for so long.

In 1967, she married Wes Kern, and got two new sons. Wes & Julaine lived out their lives together for almost 50 years. Most of her working life was spent at Evart Products, retiring after about 30 years. Her passions, however, were music, writing, and volunteering. During her life she taught piano lessons, wrote numerous stories, and shared her time and talent as a den mother, school grandma, nursing home clown, and at the Barryton Historical Museum.
