Juanita M Eller

Juanita M Eller, age 60, of Braidwood, Illinois passed away peacefully on Monday, April 21, 2025. She was the cherished wife of Derek Eller and devoted mother of Shana Eller (Sam Hutton) and Michael (Amy) Eller. Her greatest joy was being "Nana" to her treasured grandchildren: Kameron, Eli and Lane.

Juanita is also survived by her brother Michael (Alana) Jackson; nieces and nephews Mathew (Lisa) Jackson, Richard (Sierra) Jackson, Jordan Jackson, Brandi Eller, Kyle (Kristie) Eller, Ashley Eller and Dylan Eller. She was a dear sister-in-law to Jeff (Pat) Eller and Curt (Renee) Eller and loving niece of Larry (Debbie) Beers. She was preceded in death by her uncles Michael (Debbie) Brogdon and Ronald (Mary Ellen) Brogdon.

Juanita loved nothing more than spending time with her grandkids at "The little house", where countless memories were made. She found joy in vacationing in the Ozarks, especially with her special friends Dan and Sue McCurley and Dallas and Kim Hansen.

She was a proud supporter of Sheltie dog rescue efforts, particularly the Central Illinois Sheltie Rescue, where her love of animals found a meaningful outlet.

Juanita's warmth, love, and laughter will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her legacy lives on in the family she adored and the lives she touched.

A visitation for Juanita will be held Monday, April 28th, 2025 from 3:00 PM until 7:00 PM at Chapel Hill Gardens South Funeral Home, 11333 South Central Ave, Oak Lawn, IL 60453.
