Juanita Kiser (69) entered fully into the presence of the Lord on April 21, 2024, with her family lovingly by her side. Her legacy endures through her husband, three children, five grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and a wide circle of relatives and friends.
Throughout her 69 years, she imparted invaluable wisdom, including a consistent lesson on refraining from passing judgment. In instances where negativity arose in conversation, she advocated for the importance of withholding judgment towards others.
Juanita dedicated her life to sharing love with others, often putting her own needs aside. She was strong willed and stubborn at times, but she also had an enormous heart and subtle sense of humor. She was generous, loyal, and brave. She was clever and full to the brim with knowledge gained through all of her life experiences.
Juanita's presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her capacity for compassion and understanding set an inspiring example for those around her. Her commitment to spreading love and kindness will continue to resonate with everyone whose lives she touched. As we reflect on her life, we are reminded of the power of empathy and the beauty of embracing others without judgment.
She is survived by her devoted husband of 53 years, Lloyd Kiser; children, Tracie (Jeremy) White, Stacie (Clarence) Shoemaker, Christina (Joseph) Shaffer; grandchildren; Ryan Shoemaker, Ashli White, Savanna Kiser-Davidson, Alyssa Shaffer and Joeseph Shaffer; as well as beloved family members and dear friends.
Juanita is reunited with her son, Melvin Kiser.
