Juanita was a member of Ferndale Baptist Church. A loving mother, best friend and grandmother, Juanita was a prayer warrior and a woman of strong faith. She has touched countless lives with her kindness, warmth and love. Her faith-filled influence is still alive – touching hearts through fond memories, lessons and the love she has left behind. We can have comfort in knowing she is with her Savior – safe, whole, home; and one day we will see her again. Until that day, we will keep holding onto the hope of God’s promises because Heaven is real. She’s not gone, she’s just gone ahead.
