Juanita Mc Adoo

She was born July 21, 1959, to Ken and Mary Broyles Frachiseur in Garden City, KS.

Juanita loved her devoted husband Floyd and her son Michael and his wife Michaella. Becoming a grandmother to grandson Keagan and granddaughter Kensleigh was one of her greatest joys. She was a proud grandmother and loved being able to spend time with them.

A fiercely loyal and dedicated daughter, sister, aunt and friend, Juanita loved with her whole heart and lit up a room with her presence. Her humor and intelligence coupled with her inner and outer beauty made people gravitate to her infectious laugh and kind personality.

Juanita worked for Southern Bancorp as Vice President and Loan Officer. Her work ethic and compassion never wavered as she went above and beyond trying to help individuals buy a home. When others would say no, she would spend countless hours trying to find a way to say yes as she sought to help everyone. Even if the final answer was no, she would seek ways customers could help themselves so that they could come back later and she could approve their loan. Juanita made many friends at work. Customers and fellow employees loved Juanita and she loved them back as they became her extended family over the years. Juanita made many friends due to her compassionate and beautiful heart.

That loving heart extended to her great care for animals and nature. An avid photographer, Juanita frequently made her gardens and pets the subject of her portraits. It was through her art Juanita expressed herself as she battled cancer with dignity and courage. Throughout her fight, she remained resilient, optimistic, and never complained. Even through her final moments, Juanita fought bravely with a positive outlook.

While Juanita will be missed immensely, her love lives on in those she touched. Her family and friends are comforted knowing she is in the arms of her Heavenly Father.

Preceding her in death are her grandparents, and nephew, Brent Cottrell.
