She will be missed by so many hearts that she touched. She is survived by her husband, Richard Fried; daughters, Lauren and Kimberly Fried; sister, Dianne Ungaro; brother, Frank Stark; nieces and nephews; Jessica Panico, Vincent Ungaro, Frank Stark, and Dylan Stark; and parents; Mary and Frank Stark. Julia received her Bachelor's Degree in Nursing from College of Mount St Vincent in 1985 and a Master's Degree in Nursing from Stony Brook University in 2000. In 1987, she married the love of her life, Richard, and they raised her two wonderful daughters, Lauren and Kimberly. Julia worked for many years as a nurse practitioner in Cardiology in Huntington and Stony Brook and a nurse manager at NYU. She was very active in the community, serving as the President of the school board in the Elwood School District and the Elwood Education Endowment.
