Juanita M. Moran, affectionately known as ITA, departed this world on January 5, 2026, in Bonita, California. Born on April 5, 1977, at Mercy Hospital in San Diego, she touched the lives of many with her vibrant spirit, humor, and unwavering dedication to her family.

Juanita was the embodiment of joy and love. She possessed a remarkable ability to fill every room with laughter, making those around her feel cherished and cared for, she also loved being with her favorite cousins & her grandpa, Her favorite memories centered around her children, especially those joyful moments spent thumb wrestling and celebrating birthdays and holidays filled with togetherness. Nothing meant more to Juanita than the love she expressed for her family, particularly for her partner Heberto, demonstrating a commitment that inspired all who knew them.

Her culinary skills were unparalleled; Juanita’s delicious toasted sandwiches and her signature lasagna were staples that brought everyone together. She had a passion for life that was reflected in her hobbies—whether it was watching her favorite throwback shows and movies with a side of chips or enjoying tranquil walks to experience the breathtaking beauty of sunsets, Juanita always loved music as well as spending time with the people she loved, savored the little joys.

Among her proudest accomplishments were the three beautiful children she raised with love and devotion: Angelica C Robles, her oldest daughter; Angelo D Robles, her middle son; and Annalisa T Robles, her youngest daughter. Taking them to the park and sharing simple yet precious moments buying snacks only deepened the bonds they shared, instilling in them the love and care she embodied.

Juanita's family grieves the loss of a phenomenal woman whose legacy will live on in their hearts forever. She is survived by her loving children and their father, Heberto E Robles, who together will carry forward the values and warmth that Juanita instilled in them.

Juanita’s father, Luis Francisco Moran, preceded her in death, leaving a gap in the family that can never be filled.

A viewing to celebrate Juanita's life will be held on January 20, 2026, at Featheringill Mortuary in San Diego, California, providing a moment for family and friends to come together and honor a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.

Though she may have left this world too soon, ITA’s spirit will forever live on in those she loved and in the countless joyful moments that she created.
