Charitable involvement is close to Julie Siratt's heart. She has divided her time between The Gladney Center for Adoption, All Saints Episcopal School and Cook Children's Medical Center. Her youngest daughter is from Guatemala. According to Siratt, Gladney made the grueling part of adoption seem easy. All three of her kids have been at All Saints since kindergarten, and because her middle daughter was premature, Pickin' for Preemies, which raises money for Cook Children's NICU, seemed like a natural fit.
Siratt earned her degree in Early Childhood Education from TCU. Her 20-year-old son, Lee, is following in his mother's footsteps and is a sophomore at TCU, majoring in Pre-Business. Sarah Grace, 18 years old, is a senior at All Saints and will be attending TCU in the fall, majoring in Early Childhood Education with a focus in Special Needs. Thirteen-year-old Sofia is a seventh grader at All Saints.
Siratt notes her grandmother, Donna Lancaster, as the most influential person in her life. “Growing up, she always told everyone how special they were to her and how much she loved them,” Siratt says. “You always knew that she was willing to give you the shirt off her back if you needed it. Family, faith and laughter are her favorite things in life, and they are mine as well.”
