Juanita was known for loving the holidays...especially baking and making ornaments with family. She was very crafty. She also enjoyed her games including bingo, Yahtzee, dice and cards. Her absolute favorite pastime was taking care of her grandkids. They brought her so much joy. She was an avid Elvis lover and loved to catch a NASCAR race on Sunday's. Thrifting and garage sales were also a passion....she loved finding deals.

Juanita touched so many lives and will be missed by all who knew her, including her children's friends that she took in like one of her own.
