a hero officer risking his life to rescue her<\/a> as the situation continued to unfold.<\/p>\nAs police continue to investigate the horrific incident, tributes have started to flow from those who knew Ms Brunsdon, with friends remembering her as a \u201cgorgeous soul\u201d. <\/p>\n
A former work colleague at RESQ Employment in Charleville described her as someone who was always smiling and happy to have a chat.<\/p>\n
\u201cJulia was a lovely woman, she was quiet, always up for a laugh and a bit of banter, she was a very soft gentle woman,\u201d the colleague said. <\/p>\n
\u201cShe was a bit of a homebody, she was always doing something to her home if it was in the yard or always buying too many plants, she was just a down-to-earth woman.<\/p>\n
\u201cJulia was always smiling and would always say hello and pull up for a chat wherever you were, if it was the local IGA or up the street. Julia was an absolute joy to be around.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ms Brunsdon was remembered by another colleague at RESQ Employment, Stevie Barnett, as \u201csweet\u201d and \u201ccharming\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was privileged to have met Julia and work with her at RESQ employment. She told me her whole life story in a moment,\u201d Ms Barnett said. <\/p>\n
\u201cShe was sweet, charming, soft-spoken, gentle, beautiful, loving, kind, caring and so much more.\u201d <\/p>\n
A former support services client of Ms Brunsdon\u2019s, Jemma May, described her as her best friend. <\/p>\n
\u201cI really still can\u2019t believe she\u2019s gone – I was one of her clients but we did everything together,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe were more like friends and sisters. I was there through everything. <\/p>\n
\u201cRip my best friend.\u201d <\/p>\n
