Julie DeMarcus, Loan Officer at Trinity Financial
My first and foremost blessing is my family. Married to Andy for 36 years this month, we have two amazing kids, Zach (30) and Nicole (27). They are the light of our lives. I’m thankful for our beautiful Valley. Having moved 6 times by the time I was 17, I never felt “part” of a community until moving to the Valley in 1991. Lastly, my business as a local mortgage broker with Trinity Financial Services. I’ve had the honor and privilege of working with so many amazing clients over the past 31 years right here in our extraordinary Valley. The list could go on and on but these are certainly the highlights of my life.

I’m so incredibly thankful to live in this small town where the sense of community is truly something special. There’s a genuine warmth here, with neighbors who not only know each other but are always ready to lend a hand. I have met the most wonderful families that I now call friends. The positive energy that flows through this town makes it feel like more than just a place to live—it's a home where everyone belongs and I’m grateful to be a part of it.

In the midst of the chaos in todays world, there is so much to be grateful for this year. I am beyond grateful for my family - a supportive husband, two amazing sons, three dogs, parents, in-laws, siblings, a beautiful niece and a studly nephew. The community in the SYV is truly something special. Thank you so much for welcoming our magazine with open arms. It has been so much fun and an honor to learn more about our local businesses, families, and events. I am excited to continue learning more and sharing your stories each month. Thank you for your support and have a lovely Thanksgiving season with those you love most!
