She then attended Ozark Adventist Academy and went on to work as Director of Claims in Nebraska and later in California. Upon retiring, she moved back home to Shreveport to be with family. Juanita was a talented singer and musician and played in an all girl band. She was of the Seventh Day Adventist faith, enjoyed golf and bowling and was one of Elvis' biggest fans!
