Juanita accepted the Lord in her life when she was a young teenager. She loved reading her Bible, serving and singing for the Lord. One of her favorite songs was “Blessed Jesus, Hold my Hand.” She loved playing monopoly, dominos, Aggravation, and working her puzzle books. Everyone knew her as “Aunt Peach.” Some of her favorite sayings were; “I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck.” “Goodnight, sleep tight, and don’t let the bed bugs bite.” She called her children her, “Tutor Tutor’s.” She loved riding sleds with all her family. She would never walk, she always ran across the old family swinging bridges. She loved her Taster’s Choice coffee, her Royal Crown Cola, her clorets and always wore her sunglasses around her neck. These are just a few precious memories of her life. She loved all of her family dearly. She will be missed greatly.
