Originally from Houston, Texas, Julie attended Michigan State University for field hockey. It was at MSU where she met Jeff Petry, who was playing hockey for the university as well. Their connection grew, and they got married shortly after graduation.

The couple's hockey journey took them to Edmonton, Alberta, where Jeff Petry played for the Edmonton Oilers. Eventually, they decided to settle in Michigan, making it their home base due to Jeff's offseason training and the beautiful summer the state offers. Additionally, having family nearby in Farmington Hills made it an ideal location.

While their oldest son, Boyd, has shown an interest in hockey, Julie and Jeff are not pushing their children to follow in their father's footsteps.
