She began her career as a Licensed Practical Nurse at the Adams County Hospital in 1970 and worked there until her retirement in 1991. She loved her work and was notorious for her ability to offer comfort and care to her patients. After retirement, she continued to provide care and support to family and friends in the community.
Juanita enjoyed and dedicated a lot of hours to local civic organizations. She served in various official capacities in the Lioness Club, Haphazard, Senior Citizens and various committees. She was a wonderful seamstress and spent may hours making anything from cheerleading uniforms for the Franklin Panthers in the 60's to costumes for grandchildren.
Juanita enjoyed traveling the country with friends Marge, JoAnne and others with the Senior Citizens group. She took many trips with her children as well. She was a huge fan of any sport or event in which her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren participated. She could always be counted on to be their #1 fan.
