Jonitta loved God above all else and was a devout Christian. She attended Trinity Church of the Nazarene in Borger, Texas where she served as a Sunday school teacher, church secretary, and member of the board.

Her family was the second most important thing to her. She loved them with all her heart and would do anything for any one of them. The thing she did the most for her family was pray for them and their Salvation. More than anything she wants to see everyone in Heaven.

Jonitta was a nurse for over 20 years and a charge nurse at the Craig Methodist Alzheimer’s Unit for over 10 years. She loved taking care of others and spreading God’s good news.

She loved spending time in the Colorado mountains and going to Padre Island with her family and friends.
