I worked with Juanita remotely thru Lynchburg Foundries for 10 years. She was very "upbeat" and always spoke her mind. My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time.

Juanita was known as "Sarge" at Lynchburg Foundry. That's because she always kept everyone in line. ;-) She was also one of the "foundry gals" when we met to go out for a beer and to eat. We'll miss her joining us but will raise a glass to her memory. One thing she taught me during our many years working together at "the foundry" is when life gives you a lemon - make lemonade. That's what she always was able to do. So here's to Juanita (with a "J"). God speed.
Jackie, Mary, Martha, Barbara, Octavia, and Jane.

To Richard & Beth: I will always have fond memories of Juanita and Dickey. I used to run into them around town from time to time, they were quite a couple, always fun to be around. I talked to Juanita quite often at Odd Fellows Home this past year. I feel blessed to have had this time with her. She was a very interesting person. She will truely be missed.

Hi "Rickie", C.W. & I were very good friends of your Mom many years ago, from the days of working at the Foundry, bowling, Square Dancing and visiting with each other along with many other couples in our little group of the long ago days. We are still in Lynchburg, same location. Our prayers go out to you and the family. Shirley & C. W. Dudley

To Richard & Beth:
What a classy lady Juanita was. She and my uncle, Dickey, had a wonderful life together. I miss them both, however, I have fantastic memories of them. It was always fun and relaxing to be around them both. I hope to see you guys when I come to Florida.
Sincerely, Brenda Gray
