    Leslie, Sheldon, Larry and Scott: I am so saddened by the loss of your mom and my best friend! We brought up our children together, hung out together and did all kinds of crazy things together. She was such a happy person and loved coming to Foxboro with her fishing rod trying to catch the big one! That never happened!!! She loved life and was so proud of her family. I know she will be missed by everyone that knew her and I know that God welcomed her with open arms❤️ RIP Jaunita

    Dearest Leslie,
    When it comes to Juanita, there are so many memories that will forever be part of us at Waterschurch, she loved and served us all. She made meals when someone needed it, befriended the lonely, never missed services no matter the weather, loved Jesus with all her heart. She epitomized the phrase “Woman of Worth”. We loved her so much and she will be missed.
    May your family be comforted as you mourn your amazing mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend.
    Maryann Geyser.
