Juanita P. Restelli

Juanita P. Restelli, 82, of Mansfield, passed away Tuesday morning, January 2, 2018, at Brethren Care Village in Ashland, Ohio. She was born April 19, 1935, in Pine Castle, Florida, to the late Fred P. and Bernice Marie (Van Horn) Warren.

Juanita lived most of her life in the Mansfield area. She was a longtime member of St. Peter's Catholic Church and devoted her life to helping others. Juanita was generous with both her time and wisdom and was a wonderful host. Her most important priority was as a wife and sadly, she lost her husband, Harold "Rusty" Restelli just before their 45th wedding anniversary. Juanita loved to spend her time with her children and grandchildren and her faithful canine companions.

She was a HUGE Elvis fan and enjoyed watching the Cincinnati Reds baseball team.

Juanita is survived by a daughter, Julie (John) Bruce of Columbus; a son, Rusty (Lisa) Restelli of Mansfield; seven grandchildren, James Noser (Jessica Myers) of Hanover, OH, Rachael (Jeremy) Berkhimer of Hanover, Jeff Noser (Shannon Sellars) of GA, Chris Penny and Josh Penny, both of TX, and Antonio Restelli and Maggie Restelli, both of Mansfield; eight great-grandchildren; two brothers, Daton Warren of Mansfield and Augustus (Edith) Warren of GA; two sisters-in-law, Mary Restelli and Lanis Restelli, both of Mansfield; and many nieces and nephews.

Kendrick; sister, Janice; brother, Donald; sister-in-law, Ivy Warren; three brothers-in-law, Tommy, Herman and Russell (Janice) Restelli; and very good friends, Dick and Maryann Rondy.
