Juanita, known to friends as Nita and to family as Granny, passed away after a brief battle with lung cancer on July 16, 2019. She was born in Ft Smith, AR and was 75 years old.
She loved spending time with her kids and grandkids and enjoyed going to the movies and out to eat with them. One of her favorite places to go was Walmart. She is known by her grandkids for her unique gifts, she never forgot a birthday card with lots of colorful stickers and always a couple of dollars. Her home was filled with pictures on every wall, she was so proud of them all.
She is survived by her children, Melissa Davidson and husband Terry of Lone Oak, TX, Russell Horn and wife Kim of Ft Smith, AR, Paula Petty of Rowlett, TX, and Scott Pearson and wife Teresa of Greenwood, AR, and grandchildren, Jacquelyn, Bryan, Christian, Rebekah, Kathryn, Hannah, Joshua, Sarah and Layla and her sister Kay Creasey of Ft Smith, AR and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Graveside services celebrating Juanita’s life will be held at 10:00 AM on Friday, July 19, 2019 at Laurel Land Cemetery in Dallas. There will be a gathering of family and friends at the home of Paula Petty in Rowlett following the interment.
In lieu of flowers, you may make a donation to Wounded Warriors (support.woundedwarriorproject.org) or Paralyzed Veterans (pva.org), organizations that she supported for many years. She was very patriotic and always had the American flag in her little flower bed. She will be missed. May she rest in peace.
