Celebrating the life of
Julia Eloise Varn Kessler
October 14, 1927 - October 13, 2022
Julia Varn Kessler, 94, died peacefully on Thursday, October 13, 2022.
The lifelong resident of Savannah was born on October 14, 1927. Julia lived in Stillwell Towers for more than 38 years. She was an icon in the Medical Arts neighborhood and had a special relationship with the residents and businesses.
Julia is survived by her neighbors and friends that will all miss her dearly.
Funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, October 20, 2022 at Fox & Weeks Funeral Directors, Hodgson Chapel. A private burial will be held in Hillcrest Abbey Memorial Park.
The staff and residents of the Housing Authority will miss Miss Kessler. She was kind and always in good spirits. When she was able she would take a walk to Memorial Hodpitsl and visit with staff there. The pandemic affected those visits. She was small in stature with a big heart. Her signature look was the miniature American flags she wore in her hair. Rest In Peace Miss Kessler ❤️

I never knew her name but I always enjoyed seeing Ms. Kessler walking in the Medical Arts area. She inspired me. Even when we may feel that have little to get up for, a new day welcomes us. Ms. Kessler always seemed to understand this and to make the best of each day as she walked forward with purpose pushing her walking stroller decorated with flowers or a flag and as she wore a celebratory fashion statement as her head-dress. She was beautiful! I was only allowed the privilege to speak with her once before she moved along on her way. I didn't know her but I will miss seeing her. A beautiful life!!! Scott Patrick
