Juanita was one of the sweetest ladies. My family attended First Baptist with her for several years a few decades ago. She was so active in the life of the church. She loved the church. She loved Worship. She loved Bible Study. She loved the Choir. She loved people. She would never be a part of any gossip sessions or slander towards any person. She was a true Southern Lady and had the accent and manner of speech to prove it. She only had to say one word and one knew that to be true. I thank God for allowing my family to meet and know JUANITA WATFORD!
