Julia was from Strasburg, the daughter of Walter Fisher and Mary Irene (Pingley) Pollard. She was the youngest of three children. Her father was a conductor on the railroad.

She married Garnett Lee Putnam (1920-2015), born in Hume, Fauquier County, to Joseph Pendleton and Mary Edith (Fewell) Putnam. He served in the United States Army during World War II. They married in 1949, when Garnett was a weighmaster at a lime and stone company in Strasburg.

The 1950 census found the couple living in the Forks District of Warren County, where Garnett worked as a lime loader operator at a lime and stone manufacturer and Julia worked as a yarn loader in the coning room of a rayon textile manufacturer.

The couple had two sons, Ronald and Marshall L. Putnam.

Over their years together, Garnett worked as a mechanic at Shade Equipment, Winchester and retired from Ashworth Brothers, Winchester as a machine operator.

Julia and her husband are buried in Riverview Cemetery, Strasburg.
