Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Juanita was a good friend of mine, had been over a period of years. She was a true servant of the Lord, I believe, and loved her church family and her church. She always wore a smile.
Steven, Stanley & Phillip, I just learned of Aunt Juanita’s passing. I am so sorry for your loss. Aunt Juanita loved family. She always took the time to send me family pictures and mementos. I have many fond memories. I am so glad I had the opportunity to speak to her over the phone in the past year. Love, Cousin Nanette
Time is one of life’s pleasures that is always in short supply. I will always appreciate the time of having the pleasure to know such a kind and Beautiful Lady!
To the family, please accept Howdy and I condolences . I have fond memories of Juanita, we have cried, prayed, laughed together, and shared personal thoughts with each other One day when visiting her , chatting, and I was getting ready to leave. She said Brenda I just want to thank you for giving birth to my grandson , Shannon, he has been a blessing to me. What a compliment a mother could ever receive. and I will never forget that, it meant alot to me., She walked the Christian life and I will miss her with that angelic smile.

I thougnt your mom was the most beautiful women I had ever seen. When we had parties at Williford School and she helped out with other moms, I just could not take my eyes off her. Sorry for your loss and praises for her eternal home!
So sorry for your loss. Juanita’s family is in my prayers
I met Juanita 3 years ago and became good friends with her. She was a dear sweet lady with a forgiving spirit who loved the Lord and the beauty of God’s creation. She learned to be content in whatever the circumstances may have been at the time. I enjoyed spending time with her discussing God’s word, life and good food. She enjoyed talking to others, sharing her faith and God’s grace. She loved music. One of her favorite songs she shared with me was I Wonder as I Wander. I wonder as I wander out under the sky, That Jesus my Savior did come for to die For poor on’ry people like you and like I I wonder as I wander out under the sky.
Steve, Stanley, and Philip your mom was such a great inspiration as a mother and my mother in law for 21 years . She continued to be a wonderful friend after that . MamaNita was one of the most loving Christians ladies I’ve ever met . She was just as beautiful on the outside as she was on the inside . We shared so many talks, opinions, and prayers over the years . She would always laugh when I told her I married the most handsome son 😀she would smile and say, but they all are. I said, yes they are and most caring . I can see her now expressing herself when I wanted to redecorate her house she liked things just the way they were and wouldn’t want it any other way she would express herself very quickly on that one ! She always told me she loved getting our presents she knew she would have a beautiful outfit to wear but I told her it was the beautiful lady that would be wearing it ! She will greatly be missed ! She’s not in pain anymore, she’s a beautiful angel! Rest In Peace MamaNita we will see you over the rainbow soon ❤️.

I visited with your mother at Somerset, as a Hospice volunteer (before Covid). I always enjoyed spending time with her on my visits with her, she was a very interesting person to talk with. I was so looking forward to our visits again when Covid was over. I also enjoyed Wanda when she would also be there visiting. I am so sorry for your loss.
Stanley… thoughts and prayers for you and your family.
A very nice lady who help me with my parents Lina & Rufus Creekmore.
