Cline's father Samuel Hensley died of [[lung cancer]] in 1956. Hensley had deserted the family in 1947. Shortly before his death, upon learning that he was gravely ill, Cline said to her mother, "Mama, I know what-all he did, but it seems he's real sick and may not make it. In spite of everything, I want to visit him." Cline and her mother visited him at a hospital in [[Martinsburg, West Virginia]].{{sfn|Nassour, Ellis|1993|p=68}}

Cline's mother died in 1998, 35 years after Cline's death. Both of Cline's surviving siblings fought in court over their mother's estate. Because of legal fees, many of Cline's possessions were sold at auction.<ref name="NY Times">{{cite news |title=For Patsy Cline's Hometown, An Embrace That Took Decades |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/24/us/years-later-singer-patsy-cline-celebrated-in-hometown.html |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=December 24, 2012 |access-date=September 7, 2019|last1=Barry |first1=Dan }}</ref>

She has appeared at numerous public appearances in support of her mother's music and career. Following the death of her father in 2015, she helped open a museum dedicated to Cline in Nashville. Julie has few memories of her mother due to Cline's death while she was young. In an interview with ''[[People Magazine|People]]'', Julie discussed her mother's legacy, "I do understand her position in history, and the history of Nashville and country music...I'm still kind of amazed at it myself, because there's 'Mom' and then there's 'Patsy Cline,' and I'm actually a fan."<ref name="People"/>
