Juanita did nothing half way! In addition to being an elementary school teacher and mom to four children, she taught Vacation Bible School, Training Union, Acteens, Sunday School and Bible studies in the churches led by her Baptist minister husband, who pastored churches in Texas, Florida and Missouri. She led choral and handbell choirs, played piano and sang solos in church services. She was ready and willing to serve wherever and whenever needed.

Juanita had so many hobbies! Over the years she did sewing, reading, macrame, jewelry making, painting, writing, ceramics and quilting-but her real passion was her grandchildren. She always had her brag book with her, to show off pictures of her “babies”. In 2018 Marvin and Juanita moved from Missouri to Texas, to be closer to most of their family.They settled in the McKinney/Allen area and Juanita spent her time playing piano, leading Bible Studies,and being an Ambassador to new residents for the retirement community in which they lived. Marvin passed away in 2020. In 2024 she moved to Denton Village, where she lived until her passing. Juanita led a full and vibrant life. Her family pictures her walking strong, hand in hand with Marvin, the love of her life, on streets of gold.
