Juanita was a vibrant, strong, and loving woman. Her sharp wit, bright spirit, and unshakable sass made her unforgettable to all who knew and loved her.
Born on April 23, 1940, in San Antonio, Texas, Juanita lived a life full of laughter, love, and resilience. She found joy in the little things— reading a good book, getting lost in her beloved telenovelas, spending quiet hours creating beautiful diamond paintings for her friends and family, or talking on the phone
with her sister, Guadalupe.
Juanita was fiercely independent and deeply devoted to her family. She was spicy and sweet in equal measure, always ready with a comeback, a story, or just the right words of encouragement in her own special way.
To know Juanita was to be loved deeply, laughed with often, and reminded of life’s beauty in the little things. She may be gone, but her presence will never fade from the lives she shaped. Though her earthly presence has passed, the warmth of her laughter, the strength of her love, and the beauty of her
spirit will echo through generations.
