In the early 80’s she moved to Lathrop, CA, met and married her beloved husband Rogelio. She retired from Heinz after 35 years at the age of 62.

A loving wife, devoted mother & grandmother, Juanita spent her years dedicated to the family she loved. She was of strong Christian faith and passed that on to her children. She had a work ethic of which held no equal. After retirement she was able to see her cherished grandchildren often and to visit places she never thought she would. She enjoyed gardening, reading, was known for her cooking and her welcoming home.
