Very sad to hear of Juanita's passing. Worked with her for many years at Oakland Twp. Elem. and often saw her (usually shopping at Martino's in Brockway) when visiting my folks. She was a delightful, and gifted lady. Mary Ann (Prokop) Richards and family, Fayetteville, GA

Dear John and family,
You have my deepest sympathy on the loss of your beloved Juanita. As a colleague at Clarence Brown Special School, I was always impressed with her quiet dignity and respect for the special needs students. She was a special friend to me over the years, and I cherish the times we shared and the lessons I learned from her.

I was saddened to learn of the passing of Juanita Trunzo. I want to extend my sympathy to the family, especially my dear friend Joanne and her husband Andrew. I remember Mr. and Mrs. Trunzo well from my high school days. They were a wonderful couple who raised their family and contributed to the community in a positive and ethical manner. Mrs. Trunzo's story is truly extraordinary and provides an inspirational example that it is never too late to learn and contribute. I'm sure that Mrs. Trunzo was especially proud of Joanne, who has distinguished herself as a national leader in the nursing profession. Juanita Trunzo has left a wonderful legacy of service, which I hope will provide some comfort to the family during their period of sorrow.

So sorry to learn of Juanita's death. As a friend of her daughter Jody, I've known her for about 50 years. She always opened her home and heart to me and her energy and wry wit were always inspirational. I've continued dropping in for visits over the many years since I left Butler. My condolences to John and to Jeannie, and of course to Jody and Andrew.
