Juanita will be remembered with respect for the steady warmth she brought to those around her and for the quiet devotion she showed in the ways she chose to spend her time. She found genuine enjoyment in traveling, and her attentive eye for detail was reflected in her bead work.
Juanita also took pleasure in driving with nemours adventures that would include the bonus of seeing wildlife, the northern lights and she delighted in simple pastimes that brought people together—bingo, trips to the casino (her favorite), and watching her grandchildren participate in their school events among them. Above all, Juanita cherished hosting her family for holidays and special events, opening her home and heart. The traditional prayer before meals will always be remembered and hold a special place in her loved ones hearts.
