Juanita was employed by S H Kress & Co, Store 887 in Stockton, beginning in 1958 culminating her 25 year career with the company in the position of Food Service Manager in June of 1983. The California Youth Authority was her next venture in the position of Supervising Cook II, retiring after 12 years of service in 1995. Juanita enjoyed crafting, quilting, machine embroidery, knitting, crocheting, canning, baking, BUT most especially she enjoyed her family, COOKING for them and teaching family recipes.

Grandma,

I feel so blessed to have had the ability, unlike many of my peers, to know and establish a bond with my great grandmother. You will forever have a huge piece of my heart. I find peace in knowing you have entered your eternal rest and are no longer in pain. You were such an amazing woman of many talents and I will miss each of them. I promise to always value family the way you did and have a life full of love. Rest easy 💕

Grandma Nita,

You will forever hold a piece of my heart. I am who I am, in part, because of you. You were always there for me and my family and I will forever be grateful. I know that the memories we share will get me through until we meet again. So go in peace Grandma...now you can rest and say that your job is done. I love you with all of my heart and will miss you dearly.

Your Grandson,
Brandon
