Julianna Balogh, 81 Julianna Balogh, of Prescott died Jan. 31, 2005 surrounded by her family after a brief battle with cancer. She was 81. She was born July 26, 1923 in Sarospatak, Hungary to Janos Kiss and the former Julianna Szabo. She married Bertalan Balogh on Sept. 29, 1945 in Tisacsermely, Hungary. As a young girl, Julia loved going to school and working on the family farm. She was always singing and happy even when times were difficult. In 1959, Julia and her family moved from Hungary to Prescott where she worked renovating several area homes as well as working at Prescott Paper Products. She was a dedicated member of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church and Ladies Auxiliary. Mrs. Balogh was best known in the Prescott community for her kind heart and her green thumb. She welcomed family and friends into her home and was always happy to help anyone in need. She often brought the ones she loved together to enjoy wonderful meals that she lovingly prepared. In her garden, her loving touch made her flowers blossom in beauty. She is survived by her husband Bertalan; her children Ben, Julia, John and his wife Michelle, and sisters Maria and Ilona in Hungary. She is missed dearly by her grandchildren Janos Balogh, Rodney Minshall, Dawn Morton, Marissa Balogh, Kristina Conklin, Don Conklin and great-granddaughter Alyssa Morton.
