Juanita’s smile lit up people’s hearts. Most important and cherished to her were her family and friends. Juanita had a long and distinguished career as a Registered Nurse. Her last, and most favorite tenure (1973-1988) was as the Head Nurse of the emergency department at West Volusia Memorial Hospital (now known as Advent Health, Deland). Juanita was a pioneer and expert in Deland for the proper treatment of poisonous snake bites. She educated other medical personnel and put into practice this expertise during her career as an ER Nurse. After nursing, Juanita enjoyed stock market trading, making porcelain dolls, sewing, and creating jewelry. Juanita is predeceased by her devoted husband Lt Col Neal E. Norton and her oldest daughter Michelle E. Norton. She is survived by her children, Patricia Mattina, Neal (& Dolly) Norton, Mary (& Chip) Ferrante, her grandchildren Taylor (& Cathryn) Norton, Lindsey Norton, and great-grandchild June Norton.
A memorial service will be held on Sunday, December 15th beginning 9 am at Deltona Funeral Home & Memorial Gardens, Orange City, FL followed immediately by a graveside interment service. A reception will follow directly at her Daughter’s home in Deland (address to be furnished at Memorial). Condolences may be offered at www.deltonamemorialgardens.com
