Juanita was formerly a resident from Galveston and La Marque, a member of the Queen of Peace Catholic Community and was a Hairdresser. But her story does not end there.

Her many talents included gardening, quilting, knitting, cooking, and various arts and crafts. She was compassionate, wise and kind. Strict and determined when necessary. Courageous in the face of the many hardships throughout her life. But her most outstanding quality was the wonderful loving care she gave all her children and family.

I always knew her as “Grandma Janie”. We played dominoes with her and Grandpa Ray, ate several meals with them, laughed often, and always enjoyed being with them. Their love for one another was contagious and made all around them feel their own special feelings. We love you Grandma, we miss you, and you will be with us until the end of time.
A beautiful, wonderful soul. Janie our hearts are broken, but we know that you are now with Dad in Heaven and we know how happy you are. We are truly blessed that you were in our lives! We will miss you and love you forever. We will hold the memories, the love, the laughter and the joy that we made with you, close to our hearts! We will always love you!
Lovingly,
Brenda and Allen Townsend

Loved my Auntie Janie. She was such a wonderful auntie. I will always remember all of those clothes she would give me when I was a little girl. These where the dresses she made for Alice and Alice had outgrown them. My aunties craftsmanship was impeccable. Her talent for sewn items was an art. In fact, I entered one of her blankets into an art show which was accepted and displayed at a quilt show a few years ago here in Lubbock, TX. I proudly announced to all that it was my auntie who had made the quilt! Thank you for all of the lovely memories you shared with all of us throughout the years. You’re in our Heats forever.
Grandma Janie, Your wish to spend eternity with the man you loved so truly, here on earth, has finally come true❣️ I know you ran up those golden stairs,like you did when you saw the Lincoln Memorial, 😂 & I know Grandpa Ray was waiting there for you❣️ You have both earned your wings, so go fly free like the two love birds you are. 💞🕊🕊💞
P. S. Tell Grandpa, to honk twice🚘, shoot me a rainbow 🌈 and drop me a penny from time to time! You are both missed so much and will be so dearly remembered!!! Love you both Always and Forever‼️💞💞💞
No words can express how sad we were to here the news of you passing but I feel so honored that you chose to call me not too long ago and give me your sage advice over the phone and to reassure me that you had done the very best that you could in life. you wanted to make sure that you had not in any way offended me or hurt my feelings and I assured you absolutely not that you were always one of my great rocks and supporter in my life. I can never thank her enough for all the help she gave me with my mom when she got so ill before she passed and our Entire family thought of her as an Angel that helped us during that time. Please know that we all Love and miss you and you will be in our prayers always. Rest In Peace my dear Aunt 🙏🙏🙏🙏💕❤️
