Juanita and Jimmy thrived in the cool mountain community. They enjoyed hiking, golf, time with friends and the horse races. Juanita was an avid reader and loved her quite time reading on the deck in the cool mountain breezes listening to the hummingbirds and bird watching. She enjoyed working crossword puzzles. In 2007 she lost her beloved Jimmy.

Juanita was a member of the First Baptist Church in Ruidoso. She was a volunteer at the Ruidoso Public Library.
