1952 - 2011
 Julie Ann (Blough) Wyckoff passed away on September 16, 2011. She was born in 1952 in Benton Harbor, MI to Christian L. and Charlotte Blough. She was married in 1974 to Theodore L. (Ted) Wyckoff.

Julie received her Bachelor's degree and Master of Urban Planning degree from Michigan State University. She also attended Brooks Institute of Photography in film production. After a work career that included photojournalism, energy auditing, and publications editing she was employed with the Battle Creek Area Catholic Schools, eventually becoming their Technology Director.
Julie pursued her life with passion and found great joy in the outdoors, especially when joined by her family. She was an accomplished photographer and writer. She published three books and wrote many magazine articles, especially related to hunting and fishing.

Ted, Pete, and the whole Wyckoff/Blough family, I'm so sorry to hear of Julie's passing. While it has been many years since I've seen her in person, my memories of her are good ones (even plucking waterfowl for down pillows). My thoughts are with you in this tough time, the world has lost a true outdoorswoman. ~Amy

I did phone support for some of the computers at the school. Julie was a pleasure to work with and her technical skills were obvious. I'm sorry for your loss. -Anthony

Ted, Nick, Pete and the rest of the family - I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Julie. I did not know her very well but I always think of her as outdoorsy and athletic and caring about the environment. My thoughts are with you.
