LEIBOLD, Julie – Suddenly and unexpectedly at her residence in Ayton on Wednesday, April 14th, 2021 in her 57th year. Cherished partner of Robert Raymond for almost 20 years. Loving stepmother of Meredith Pleau and “JuJu” to Meredith’s children: Hope and Xavier. Julie is also survived by her Uncle and Aunt, Ronald and Jean Leibold of Guelph, and will be sadly missed by her many cousins and friends. Julie was predeceased by her loving parents, Ross (2009) and Ruth Leibold (née Huth) (2020). Julie lovingly tended to her mother until Ruth’s passing this past October. Upon graduation from the Cosmetic Program at Seneca College, Julie joined Eaton’s Canada in Kitchener. She then joined the Clinique team at The Bay in Conestoga Mall, Waterloo. Her devotion to her career and clients was truly a gift. Julie’s life centred around Leibold Farms, located outside of Ayton, where she was the fifth generation to continue on the family farm. Julie touched the lives of so many people with her kindness, love and generosity. A celebration of Julie’s life will be held at the farm on her birthday, Sunday, September 5th, 2021. Details of her celebration of life will be forthcoming at LeiboldFarms.com. To remember Julie, please consider supporting a small local business during these difficult times, or a charity of your choice. Arrangements entrusted to the England Funeral Home, Mount Forest.
After inheriting her family's farm in 2010, Julie Leibold and her husband, Robert Raymond initially decided to rent out the land and use the property as a weekend retreat but it didn't take long for those plans to change. Always up for a challenge and for throwing caution to the wind it was decided that it was a great idea to become farmers in their forties with no experience. With a background in restaurants and marketing and sales, Robert knew there was a market for a higher quality product coupled with exceptional sales and service. After years of hard work, we know we have succeeded in producing the highest quality, tastiest product possible. Eat well, eat local.
