Saddened to hear of Jaunita’s passing but joyful to know where she is now. I worked with Juanita at Ford Mtr. Co. in Charlotte from 68 until closing in 88. Have wonderful memories of her. She was so beautiful and when she and Jim dressed for a Shriner’s event, she always was so regal. Still bake her mother’s 6 flavored pound cake with the recipe that she so graciously shared with me.
Jo, I am so sorry for your loss. I want you to know that no sister has EVER been more devoted and provided better care than you did for Juanita. She was so lucky to have you and your family to care for her.Keep your memories close and know that GOBS of people love you and are thinking of you!! I’ll bet Wonkie would want you to go with ‘friends’ to The Farmer’s Daughter to celebrate her life!!
