A 'selfless' teacher killed in a horror car crash is being remembered for her devotion to her community following her sudden death.
Julie, who worked at the Wiluna Remote Community School, about 950km north-east of Perth, sadly died in a car crash last week.
She travelled to Wiluna with her husband Chris to teach children in the Martu Aboriginal Community, which has a population of less than 1,000 people.
Emily Vandenberg, the principal at the school, said Julie was killed after she had driven 10 hours to 'ensure the safety' of a family pet owned by one of her colleagues.
'This was Julie: always putting others first, no matter the distance or the effort,' Ms Vandenberg wrote on a GoFundMe campaign for Julie's family.
'Her passing has left our entire school community in shock and heartbreak. Julie was more than a teacher - she was a friend, a mentor, and a bright light in our community.
'Her warmth, generosity, and unwavering care for others will never be forgotten.'
Julie was described as kind, selfless, and deeply committed to supporting others.

Ms Vandenberg said the money raised by the GoFundMe would go towards flying Julie's children from Victoria to Perth, which is expected to cost over $10,000.
The campaign has raised over $30,000 of the $35,000 target at the time of writing.
Ms Vandenberg wrote that she had only connected with Julie one day before the fatal crash, which has rocked their small community.
'Our community is devastated, but more than anything we just want to wrap our arms around this beautiful family and do whatever we can,' she said.
The Daily Mail has contacted Ms Vandenberg for further comment.
