Born in Hackberry, Louisiana, on June 20, 1930, she was the daughter of Landry Kibodeaux and Azelie Newman Kibodeaux. She attended St. Helen’s Catholic Church and loved visiting First Baptist Church in Orangefield. She was a loving wife, mother, aunt, sister, grandmother, great- grandmother, foster mother, mentor to many, team player, coach and beloved friend. She loved God, her family, loved and lived life to its fullest. She loved to travel anywhere, anytime. She contributed her all to her community and above all helped ANYONE in need with an open mind and open heart. She never met a stranger. One of Juanita’s many mottos was: “If I can help just one person then I have done my job”. She lived by the golden rule; treat others as you want to be treated. She will be truly missed by all who were lucky to have known her.
