Juanita redacted letters to soldiers during World War II and later drove a semi cross-country and delivered some of the first rides to the Florida swamp that was becoming Disney World. She also worked as a nurse and a hotel clerk. She played golf and once even hit a hole in one. Juanita loved being in the sunshine, spending time with her friends, and playing bingo.
There will be no services in Paducah as she will be interred with her son, Clifford at Mt. Hope Cemetery in Florence, South Carolina.
