When I went to the memorial Brad organized for Juanita on the tennis courts at Briarcrest Country Club last year, I wasn't sure if those in attendance would be expected to speak. As it happened, each of her kids gave touching, funny reminiscences of their Mom...a perfect gathering Juanita would have loved. But, I did write something down, just in case. I never got the gift of contemporaneous wit, so I always prepare:

Juanita, Don´t ever buy a Cadillac. So said some of her clients who were kept waiting at a closing by a realtor who could hardly be bothered to show up...so modest was the house changing hands.

He drove a big new Cadillac...in those days, the "in your face" status symbol, that said...look at how successful I am. I don´t have time for the little people.

Full disclosure: Some of you know that I"ve owned a couple dozen Cadillac´s over the years, but we´re talking 50-year old jalopies, not shiny new status symbols designed to impress...or intimidate.

Probably everyone here knows one thing about Juanita...she could not abide a snob or a pretentious attitude...anyone who felt they were special just because of the car they drove or the size of their bank account.. She told me this little antidote probably at least 20 years ago, and it perfectly captures her disdain for snobs. She grew up poor, and she worked hard her whole life...never forgetting where she came from.

Juanita had clients everywhere on the income scale. The first house she sold me more than 20 years ago was very modest, yet she took just as much time with me as if I´d had a million dollars to spend. In fact, I think she took more pleasure working with young people, or not so young, who were buying their first house here. Her goal was always to find them a house they´d love, the commission always secondary.

Juanita was my first friend here, and she became my best friend. I know many of you feel the same. She was generous in thought and deed, donating to many worthy causes in our community, and one especially important to me. I will always smile when I think of her attitude, her love for her family and how much fun it was to spend time with her. I´m grateful for her fighting spirit and to the docs at MD Anderson for the bonus years we had since her diagnosis. So long, dear friend, you´ll be missed. But, I know you´re working on that wicked backhand in the great beyond!

Nancy Young just sent me Juanita´s obituary! I had no idea and wish I would have been there to see her more. She was a wonderful person and friend when we lived in College Station.
Love and blessings to all her family.

Shon, Brad and Shelby-
I´m so saddened to learn of Juanita´s passing. What a classy lady! It´s been 30 years since I lived next door to you guys, but I was grateful to have had the Corrier family as neighbors for more than a decade. My sincere condolences to each of you and your families.

Shelby, after reading her bio I am all the more convinced that I can know the mother by knowing the daughter. What a Canadian-American treasure she was! May memories of her comfort you and continue to guide you.

Juanita was a favorite customer. Elegant, kind and those sparkling eyes! I have alway had a lot of respect for her. Your wonderful recounting of her life story was revealing yet not surprising. She was a really wonderful lady who treated me and everyone else as an equal. I know you will miss her. God bless.

Juanita taught me a lot in the 20+ years I worked with her. She was a pillar in the real estate community and a wonderful person to know. I´m broken hearted for her family. I know she would adore a memorial service on her beloved tennis court. Prayers of peace and comfort for all who love her.

So many great memories of my time with Juanita over the years...I will miss her greatly.
We first met more than 20 years ago when I moved to the area and bought the first of five houses I've owned here through her. She was a great realtor, but a greater friend. If you were a client, chances are you became a personal friend as well. I can't count the number of times we've enjoyed meals together, and the times she was a guest at family gatherings and parties at my house over the years...everybody loved Juanita.
I know she'll be missed greatly by Brad and Tracey, and their kids, and by her other son and daughter and their kids....but, also by her many dear friends throughout this community whose lives she's touched.
So fitting that we should remember this pillar of our community, beloved mother, grandmother and dear friend on her beloved tennis courts. I know she's working on her backhand somewhere in that great beyond!
