The radio personality took time off from her Breakfast program to care for her mother after learning that she had cancer.
She was born on August 29, 1949.
Her daughter Zoe Ball is a celebrity on BBC Radio 2.
The presenter announced on Instagram in March 2024 that Julia had received a cancer diagnosis.
“Our beautiful Mama Julia has been diagnosed with cancer, which breaks my heart,” she said to her admirers.
Like many of you who are in the real world, I realize that these are really difficult times. Mom is showing a lot of courage.
“My brother Jamie and I are amazed at the quality of care Mom is receiving from the doctors, nurses, and support staff.”
“Gratitude.” We are grateful for the support shown by our friends, family, and extended family both at home and at work during this difficult time.
Then Zoe announced that she would be taking a leave of absence from work to support her mother in adjusting to her condition.
On April 17, 2024, Zoe informed everyone that her beloved mother had been placed in a hospice when she returned to her morning program.
She gifted a Bon Jovi song to the paramedics who had assisted Julia.
“Mom is now in hospice care,” she announced live. Right now, things are difficult for the family.
“I want to express my gratitude to Sophie, Laura, John, Scarlett, Charlie (both Charlies), and Charlie for their excellent care of my mom.”
“Right now, my mom is going through a tremendously trying moment. I’m wishing her a lot of love.
“Mum, I love you.”
What ended up killing Julia Peckham?
On April 24, 2024, Zoe announced to the world that her 74-year-old mother Julia had passed away following a protracted fight with pancreatic cancer.
She informed her fans that she had passed away and sent tributes to her on social media.
Her caption for the Julia photo on social media said, “Sleep tight, dear Mama.”
“We appreciate you teaching us the value of unconditional love, constant bravery and compassion, and the fact that laughter is the best gift—even on the darkest days.”
“We will cling to each other tightly, even though we miss you so much.”
“Today I say goodbye to Granny J,” she added. I appreciate you being such a beautiful woman.
“The only person who consistently sent me a card on Valentine’s Day.”
TV presenter Johnny Ball and Julia Ball were married in 1969.
On November 23, 1970, at the age of 21, Zoe was born.
When Zoe was two years old, Julia and Johnny called it quits, and in 1972, they were no longer married.
Zoe has previously discussed how difficult it was for her to get along with Julia following her parents’ divorce.
“I didn’t see my mom Julia for a few years because she was so young when she got married to my dad and had me,” she had previously stated.
“I moved in with my dad and my other’mum,’ his wife Diane, after they split up.”
However, during the last several years, they grew close, and after Zoe’s husband Richard passed away in 2013, she supported her mother.
When Zoe mentioned taking care of her mother, she brought up her brother Jamie Clark.
February 1977 is when he was born.
