North Brookfield - Julianne (Thomasian) Broman, 85, of North Brookfield, died on Saturday, February 17, 2024 at Quaboag Rehabilitation and Skilled Care Center.

She is survived by her son, Eric Broman and his wife Suzanne of North Brookfield, and her daughter, Sema Guntor and her husband Paul of West Brookfield; three grandchildren, Eric Guntor and his partner Carol Trevey of Pennsylvania, Katie Broman Attella and her husband Nate of North Brookfield, and Nicholas Broman of West Brookfield; two very special great grandchildren, Addison and Peyton Attella; as well as many nieces and nephews.  She was predeceased by her son, John "Jack" M. Broman in 2012, and her brothers, Donabet Thomasian, Khrekor "George" Thomasian, Aram Thomasian, Sr., Harbig Thomasian and Peter Giragosian; and her sister, Susan Zabek. She was born in North Brookfield, daughter of the late Hovanes and Sema (Goshgarian) Thomasian and was a life-long resident of the town.

Julie started her nursing career at the Quaboag Rehabilitation and Skilled Care Center at a young age. She saw the names change over the years from Quaboag Nursing Home, to Quaboag on the Common, to the name it carries today. She worked there for 60 years, starting as an aide, then a CNA, to completing her education to become a Licensed Practical Nurse. Even after she retired from nursing, she continued to enjoy interacting with the residents and others there as the receptionist.

Her family and friends were her greatest joy, and she enjoyed quilting, knitting, and making her famous apple pies for community events.

Julie's family would like to gratefully acknowledge and thank everyone at Quaboag for the wonderful care and company that they provided her.

At her request, services for Julie will be held privately with a burial in Walnut Grove Cemetery in the spring.

Varnum Funeral Home, Inc., 43 East Main St., in West Brookfield is assisting her family with arrangements.
