Juanita was married 57 wonderful years to Nick Rinaudo, Sr. prior to his death. She loved to sew, quilt and craft for every family member, enjoyed playing at the casino, spending quality time with her grandkids, and loved having family around for cookouts and Sunday family dinners. She was always humorous and loved to play pranks on people. Juanita always had something to say and sometimes with a little sassiness! She loved holidays, making sure everyone had a gift at Christmas, even if you were a guest for the event. At Easter she doled out Easter bunnies to everyone present and purchased a few special ones for the spoiled kid of the bunch! She loved her collection of Santa’s and Nutcrackers received every year along with the many scratch off tickets that had no return. Juanita will be deeply missed by loved ones. May she rest in eternal peace.
