I had the pleasure of working with Juanita at Advance Auto Parts for several years. She was always upbeat and smiling. She was surely as much a part of the Advance family as Arthur & Nick Taubman and Garnet Smith. Very much loved and respected. We will all miss her. God Bless Her Family.

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Juanita. I loved her very much and had the pleasure of working with her at Advance Auto where she was such a dedicated and loyal employee. She was one beautiful lady both inside and out.

I was sad to find this out this morning. She was like a grand mother to our team at Advance Auto Parts. She had worked for Mr. Taubman for more than 50 years. I can still hear her laughing at the stores she told of the young company.

I can remember putting on her snow chains for her when it snowed. I was amazed that she would even venture out in the mess. She would usually beat me into the office.

She will be missed.

Juanita was a lovely lady. As the wife of Herman Burnette, I had the pleasure of being with her on the trips given by the Advance Auto Parts and looked forward to her sweet personally and the way she always made me feel that she was happy to see me. Herman likes to tell about how he teased her over taking her parking place at work.

Juanita worked for me for many years at Advance Auto Parts. I can still see her flipping thru newspaper invoices and tearsheets. She was a fine lady who loved to dress up and loved her job. She also had a very unique sense of humor. She will be missed.
