Juanita Eudy Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 2, 2017.

Juanita Case Eudy, 98, of Midland, Texas passed away on September 30, 2017.

Juanita was born in Claude, Texas on July 10, 1919, to Harvey S. Case and Vera Thrasher Case.

One of nine children, Juanita attended schools in Umbarger, Estelline, Parnell, Weatherly, Gasoline, and Quitaque, Texas.

When she was a senior in high school, her Dad suddenly passed away, leaving her Mom with seven children at home. Juanita dropped out of school and worked as many as three jobs at a time as this was during the Depression. Her night job was selling tickets at the Gem Theatre in Turkey, Texas, where she met a local farm boy, Hugh Eudy. They were married on June 29, 1941, and were married 66 years before Hugh's passing in 2007. Six months later after their marriage, Pearl Harbor occurred and Hugh joined the U.S. Navy. He was overseas for almost four years only getting to come home twice in that time.

Juanita was mostly a housewife and Mom to three sons, but later in life worked as a secretary and at the Van Horn school cafeteria.

Juanita and Hugh farmed in Turkey, Texas for a number of years before moving to Van Horn, Texas in 1955. They farmed there for 36 years before retiring and moving to Midland.

Juanita is preceded in death by her parents; husband, Hugh Eudy; son Ken Eudy; grandson John Eudy and granddaughter Jana Graves; brothers Renois Case, Oles Case, Jack Case, Bob Case; sisters Ruby Dell Case, Wilmuth Tutor, Frances Mullin and Martha Darling.

Juanita is survived by sons Don Eudy and wife Linda of Midland, and Larry Eudy and wife Jeannie of Midland; grandchildren Dona Retzlaff (Dirk) of Eagle River, Alaska, Amy Eudy of Houston, Tracey Reiter(Karl) of Midland, Lindsey Neagle(Michael) of Midland and James Eudy(Polanco) of Progreso, Mexico; great grandchildren Sterling, Steely, and Stefan Retzlaff, Kaiden Reiter, Jade and Kylee Neagle, Kenley Seaborn, Falyn, Duke, and Sophie Graves, and Noah Eudy and numerous nieces and nephews.

Services will be held at the Turkey, Texas, Church of Christ at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, October 4, 2017 with burial following at Dreamland Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be given to Dreamland Cemetery in Turkey, Texas, Turkey Church of Christ, or a favorite charity.

The family of Juanita wishes to thank the caregivers at Brookdale Senior Living and Legacy Ranch for their care.
