Julee Crawley, RN, was nominated by families who experienced her compassionate care during end-of-life journeys.

One family wrote, “She treated our mother not as a patient, but as a person, with a life, a story, and a family who loved her deeply. Her presence brought calm when we felt overwhelmed, clarity when we felt lost, and comfort when our hearts were breaking. She helped our mother leave this world with dignity, peace, and surrounded by care. That is a gift beyond measure.”

Another nomination praised Crawley’s consistent support and empathy: “If she were available to check a second time during the day on my husband, Julee was here with him and with me. Her hugs were indispensable during this time. She has a knack for saying and doing exactly what is needed and appropriate.”

The same nominator also highlighted Crawley’s attention to spiritual care: “On one visit, she brought the hospice chaplain with her… all because Julee had brought him on a day we needed God’s help. God gives us special gifts. He gave Julee the gift of service and compassion. He gave me the gift of Julee, my daily angel.”
