Julia E. Belson, of East Quogue, NY, sadly passed away on August 16, 2024 at the age of 79. She was deeply loved and will be profoundly missed by all who knew her. She was born on October 26, 1944 in Glen Head, NY to her parents Julia and Wilfred D. Wiehn, and was the youngest of 4 siblings, Sissy, Iris and Billy. After graduating from North Shore High School, she met and married her beloved husband, Gerald J. Belson Sr. of Westhampton Beach, NY. During their marriage, they had three children: Gerald (Jerry) Belson Jr, Wilfred (Billy) Belson and Todd Belson. Julia dedicated many years of her life as an administrative assistant serving the U.S. Marine Corps in Garden City, NY and the Air National Guard Base in Westhampton Beach, NY from which she retired in 2000.

She will be fondly remembered for her selfless care for others, and her unwavering friendship to many. Julia cherished her time spent with family, and caring for her beloved dogs Abby and Lizzy. She found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She loved the beach, nurturing her garden and cooking and preparing her signature dishes for loved ones.

Julia was predeceased by her husband, Gerald J. Belson Sr. in 1993. She is survived by her three children: Gerald Belson Jr. and his wife, Dawn, Billy Belson, and Todd Belson and his wife, Danielle. She was a proud grandmother to seven grandchildren: Danielle Lizio, Brooke Belson, Matthew Belson, Kayla Belson, Dylan Belson, Billy Belson Jr. and Vanessa Belson, as well as one great-grandchild, Peyton Lizio. She will also be missed by her longtime companion, Gordon Cocks.

A private family graveside service will be held in September at the Westhampton Cemetery.
