JulieAuna's obituary
JulieAuna “Bugs” Marie Yehle, 24, passed away unexpectedly on April 10, 2023, in Ely, Nevada.
JulieAuna was born in Jerome, Idaho on May 20, 1998, to Justen “Judd” Yehle and Angela (Joy) Miller. With unconditional love and lasting friendship, early in Bugs’ life Justen and Angela decided to divorce and prioritize co-parenting her. She spent much of her childhood split between Twin Falls and Boise – ensuring she spent the most time as possible with her beloved family. In the early 2000’s, JulieAuna welcomed with open arms two additional parents – Jennifer Yehle and Joshua Miller. All four parents feel eternally grateful to be able to call JulieAuna a daughter.
Bugs was a beloved daughter, sister, niece, and friend and was beautiful person inside and out. With her stunning smile, infectious laugh, and sincere shining spirit she could captivate a room in seconds. There was never a question of authenticity – she was so kind, passionate, and cared unwaveringly for family and friends. To know and love Bugs was a privilege that was shared widely. JulieAuna will be forever missed but never forgotten.
JulieAuna’s family was everything to her – which included seven siblings, dozens of aunts and uncles, and numerous cousins. She especially had a special relationship with her youngest siblings, as they looked to her often for guidance and support. Bugs was also blessed to become “Aunt Bugsy” to her niece and nephews Amaya, Ayden, and Jaxson Bailor. She spent much of her time devoted to family –on vacations to the Oregon Coast, simply visiting with those she loved, and everything in between. Her beautiful life will forever be cherished in the lives of all that knew her.
Fate brought Diego Jimenez into Bugs’ life, and they became best friends which evolved into unconditional love and plans for marriage and a lasting future together. Diego and Bugs did not have any children together, but they poured their love into their huge group of fur babies – sometimes having five or more running around their house.
JulieAuna is survived by her father and bonus mom, Justen and Jennifer Yehle, her mother and bonus father, Angela, and Joshua Miller. She will be forever remembered by her siblings David Lee Murray, Alissa Miller, Logan Miller, Elizabeth Miller, Denessa Miller, Landyn Yehle, and Oliver Yehle. She will also be forever loved by her great grandparents (the Yehle’s and Stewart’s), grandparents (the Nichols, Yehle, and Miller’s) and her dozens of aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Waiting for JulieAuna with open arms at the gates of heaven were her grandparents Michael Yehle, Julie Nichols, Donald, and Helen Joy.
To celebrate her cheerful and bright spirit, family, friends, and others whose lives JulieAuna touched are invited to attend a Celebration of Life at Rock Creek Park in Twin Falls, Idaho on April 22, 2023, from 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm. Her family looks forward to coming together to reminisce favorite memories, grieve, and support each other.
