Julie Ann Shedko

Julie Ann Shedko, 63, a resident of Taos, passed away peacefully on August 13, 2026.

We lost the sweetest, most loving, caring adventurous patient, beautiful, kind, giving, forgiving and positive soul on Thursday. What an inspiration to everyone that knew her and especially to me. As hard as it was to go through memories of our past, it reminded me of what a blessing she was in my life the past 25 years. Sadness is part of the healing process, but Julie would want us to move on and be happy and celebrate her life!

One of Julies greatest accomplishments was taking a 2-year course that related to the passion she had towards her love of soil. The course was similar to that of a “Regenerative Soil Biologist”, a professional who applies the principles of regenerative agriculture and soil regeneration; to study, manage, and restore soil health. A combined expertise in soil science, ecology and biology, with a focus on rebuilding degraded soils through natural processes rather than relying solely on synthetic inputs. Julie truly had a love for life, family, friends and soil. 

So many wonderful memories with family and friends, but I am dedicating these montages to her, for now.

I do know there are some wonderful photos from our past that will be fun to see and we will have a celebration of this wonderful lady and her journey in the near future.

Love, Darren
