Juanita was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great-great grandmother.  After the untimely death of her husband Jack in 1969, she worked as a school cook and for Sears Department store.  Juanita loved family time and to travel.  Her goal in later years was to see Alaska and she met that goal at age 92 on a family cruise.

She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and in her lifetime held several positions in the church.  Even though Juanita lived in Orangevale, California for 63 years Utah was always home to her and she longed to be there.  She was finally able to begin her return to her roots in Santaquin, Utah on October 6, 2022.

As per Juanita's request, there will be a graveside service in Santaquin City Cemetery, 300 South 100 East, Wednesday, October 19, 2022 at 11:00 am.
