6 Condolences
Juanita was an amazing person. I spent a lot of time at the Votek home growing up and she treated me like one of her own.
Sending prayers of peace and comfort to the family. My your memories sustain you in the days and weeks ahead..
Juanita was a force to be reckoned with, for sure! She treated all us kids the same. If you needed called out, she did, if you needed a hug, you got one. She will be missed.
I was the senior class president of 1954 and I believe that Juanita was class secretary. We remained friends all of these years as we joined our class reunions over time. When able Juanita always secured the huge class graduation picture until it became a burden. Our classmates enjoyed the camaraderie of meeting Juanita and husband John at class reunions. They remained anchored in Glenwood and were always a source of support for our class reunions. It is with deep sadnesss that I offer my personal condolence. I extend condolence for those of us from the class of 1954 who are still alive.
I am saddened to hear of Juanita’s passing. She was a wonderful person and always there for a kind word or direction. May the family find peace and comfort that she is with John and the LORD, Prayers with the family during this time of loss.
So sorry . Dennis and I send our condolences . Hugs to all of you .
MANY CONDOLENCES TO FOR YOUR LOSS. MAY HAPPY MEMORIES HELP BRIGHTEN YOUR DAYS.
