"Nita" was a caring generous person who worked as a school nurse and medical assistant during her career, where she brought her loving smile and giving spirit to all those who worked with her. She shared all she had with her family and people in need. Juanita loved and was very proud of her family especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren. After her last husband passed away, she spent the last fourteen happy years in Murrells Inlet to be with her dear and close friends, Earl & Rita Chester, and John & Nancy Allen of Murrells Inlet, SC, who were a great support for her while she lived in Murrells Inlet. Nita was active in her church, St. Michael Catholic Church at 542 Cypress Avenue, Murrells Inlet, SC. She was the former chairperson for the Grief & Loss Support Ministry where she put her baking skills and empathetic nature to beneficial use in helping members recover through the loss of a spouse. Juanita also served the parish with prayer shawls and Eucharist for many homebound patients. She was a great servant of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Nita loved food and cooking, movies, bingo, live entertainment, and a good joke. She had a beautiful voice and loved music. She will be missed by all who knew her.
