Julane Deloricce Simon was born on June 7, 1942 to Edward "Doc" and Iva Simon. She was the fourth of six surviving children.
Growing up in Limon, Julane and her family were well-known in the rodeo world, especially for their passion and talent. Barrel racing was Julalne's event of choice, and she was proud to be part of the family known in rodeo circles as the "Simons from Limon".
Her professional journey began at the local A&W restaurant in Limon, but her true calling came in the world of racehorses. Julane became a respected quarter horse trainer, competing primarily on the Centennial race circuit.
When the local race scene began to decline, she turned her attention to another passion - dogs. Julane ran a successful dog breeding kennel for many years. At times, she cared for more than 30 dogs, raising and selling thousands of puppies throughout her career. She closed her kennel in 2015.
Julane spent her final years battling dementia and passed away in a nursing home on February 18, 2025.
