Juanita Martin

October 8, 1939 – September 27, 2013

Passed suddenly during the night of September 27, 2013. She is survived by her loving husband of over 50 years Glenn, son Sheldon, brothers Clarence Jr. (Linda), David (Jackie) and sisters Karen (Rennie) and Marilyn, granddaughters, Brittany, Sara, Amber and Cassandra as well as nieces and nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews.

Born and raised in Halifax, N.S until 13 years of age, the family moved to Camp Borden, ON where Juanita would finish her schooling in Barrie, ON. She worked many jobs on the base as well as in Barrie (cosmetics etc).

She met and married Glenn on the base in 1964. When Glenn got out of the army, they moved to join his family on the Queen Charlotte Islands. From there they moved to Kitimat, Shoal Harbour, Kokish and then to Jeune Landing where she worked as a Weigh Scale Operator for Rayonier Canada. Juanita and Glenn moved to Courtenay where they built their own home which they lived in for the last 32 years. Juanita became Glenn’s business partner in their Roto-Rooter franchise for 18 years before retiring. Juanita loved her home, gardening and flowers.

She will be dearly missed by her family and friends.

No flowers by request please, cremation and get together to celebrate her life to follow.
