Julia is survived by her daughters Jennie Kornfeld and Debbie Riedmiller (Mark), son Jorge Kornfeld (Veronica), and grandchildren, Jesse Kornfeld, Samantha Kornfeld, Eric Riedmiller, Alexa Riedmiller, Jorge Kornfeld, and Karla Kornfeld. She is pre-deceased by her husband Leon Kornfeld, and son Reinaldo Kornfeld (Luz). All of whom she dearly loved and touched deeply. Julia was born on October 30, 1939 in Paris, France. After the death of her father, Joseph, during World War II, she and her mother, Alicia, eventually made their way to Santiago, Chile. In October 1965 she married Leon Kornfeld at the age of 25 and they led a happily married life until Leon’s death on October 6, 2013. In 1977 Leon and Julia moved with their family to Miami Beach (and eventually Pembroke Pines), Florida, where they lived the rest of their lives. Julia was a devoted daughter, wife, mother, and grandmother. Her devotion only matched by her fierce love and protection of her family. She treasured her family and cherished every moment with them. She loved to laugh, dance, travel and spend time with her family most of all. Even though later in life Julia had several health issues, she always pushed through them like a champ, never complaining, and lived life to the fullest. Her family referred to her lovingly as the Energizer Bunny. She was a strong and tough cookie who leaves this legacy of love and strength to her descendants to learn and live by. She will be deeply missed by all who loved her and will be forever in our hearts. May she rest in peace. Services are not planned at this time. A celebration of her life event will be scheduled at a later date. Condolences may be sent to 15602 NW 14th Street, Pembroke Pines, FL 33028, attention to Jennie Kornfeld.
