Juanita was born in Victoria BC. She is predeceased by her father Reginal and Gladys (Mann).
She loved to entertain and cook for family and friends. In fact nobody could duplicate her Cinnamon buns, Borsch and wonderful homemade birthday cakes. She was hardworking through her job history in food services and being a hockey mom. She loved to watch hockey, garden, dance and be around people. She was kind, sensitive, compassionate and had a wonderful caring loving soul.
The family would like to express our gratitude to all the staff at the Trim Residence in Mission (Cherry Unit) for their kind, thoughtful and wonderful care she received in her final years.
She will be greatly missed and never forgotten.
A small private family graveside service will be held to lay our mother to rest.
