Julie Dupuis was a loving wife, mother, sister, daughter, and friend, who always made the world a better place. She spent 37 years helping those around her at the place she considered her second home, the Elliot Hospital in Manchester NH. Julie passed away due to a tragic car accident in December of 2020, leading her family to create "Julie's Giraffes" to honor her memory.
With family always at the heart of everything Julie did, it should come as no surprise that one of her greatest wishes was to become a grandmother. Julie had been eagerly awaiting the birth of her first grandchild, Penelope. Sadly, Julie passed away one week before Penelope was born.
We founded Julie's Giraffes Program to share Julie's love with each newborn baby at the Elliot Hospital. Julie loved giraffes and we could not envision a more fitting way to celebrate her legacy than by gifting giraffe stuffed animals to newborns and their families.
