Julia Uberuaga Coleman passed away on April 2, 2022, in Eugene, Oregon, at the age of 99, just two months shy of her 100th birthday.

Julia, also known as "Julie," was born on June 12, 1922, the third child of Hermenegilda and Jose Uberuaga, both immigrants from the Basque Country.

Jose and Hermenegilda purchased the home at 607 Grove St. and ran it as a Basque boarding house.

Julia was born in the parlor of the home, which today is known as "The Cyrus Jacobs-Uberuaga House."

She grew up there with her sister, Serafina, (born in 1915), and her brother, Joe P., (born in 1917) and lived in the house until 1975.

Donations in memory of Julia Uberuaga Coleman would be gratefully accepted by the Basque Museum and Cultural Center (611 Grove Street, Boise, ID 83702) or by the Basque Center Foundation (601 Grove Street, Boise, ID 83702).

A funeral Mass will be held on May 5, 2022, at 11 a.m. at Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Boise (1500 E. Wright Street), followed by lunch in the parish hall. Committal services will be held at 2:30 p.m. at Morris Hill Cemetery. Services are under the care of Accent Funeral Home and Cremation.
