Julie Anne Moore Dillingham

January 19, 1975– June 18, 2026

Julie, passed away on June 18, 2026, at the age of 51 after a brief battle with colon cancer and pneumonia, Julie was born to Pat Moore and Dianne (Troxel) Moore January 19, 1975.

Julie was a beloved daughter, devoted wife, outstanding mother, a cherished sister, a rockstar Mimi, and avid dog mom. She was born and raised in Hood River, with roots planted deep. She was known for her vibrant spirit, fierce yet loving personality, and a laugh that could light up any room. Julie was a true firecracker, a force to be reckoned with. Someone who brought energy, courage and strength to those around her.

She lived her life with passion and humility, leaving a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Her love for her family was immeasurable and she treasured the time spent with those she held close. 

Proceeded in death by her “Pops” Larry Hayes, Bailey’s Dad and Julie’s dear friend Brian Hammel, Brother-In-Law Tom Sieverkropp, Godson Wyatt Smith, Grandparents Darrell and Lucille Troxel, June and Allen Moore, John and Helen Crowley, and Mary and Earl Moore. 

Julie is survived by; her husband, Joshua Dillingham; three daughters, Bailey Hammel (Phil), Gracee Dillingham (Casey) and Kloee Dillingham; mother, Dianne Hayes; father, Pat and second mom, Sue Moore; sisters, Reka Sieverkropp, Shanna Spring (James), and Tera Lindquist (Mike); brothers, Randy Hayes (Val) and Rob Hayes (Tonia); brother-in-laws, Daniel and Ryan Wollam; grandsons, Brian and Gene Gaines, Robert and Oliver Carr and Baby J due (9/26/26); aunts and uncles, Bruce Moore (Lynn), Beth Peters (Matt), Dwayne Troxel (Jeannie) and Lori Davies; nieces and nephews, Maddie Hayes, Hayden King, Weston, Austin, and Ryan Sieverkropp, Amber and Anthony Hayes, Samantha and Miya Lindquist, Michael Spring, and Natalie, Ivy, and Kyndra Wollam. Along with multiple cousins, and all of her special “peoples”, many friends and endless amounts of adopted children over the years in favor of her open-door policy.  A true testament to her love that she not only had for her biological children, but the love she had for the children of the community who always knew her door was open for the opportunity of a safe haven. As well as all the people whose lives she touched, her memory will live on through the love, stories, and moments shared by those who knew and loved her.

She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
