Growing up across the street from the Mans family, I have many good memories… Juanita was always there to keep the peace, organize the family and direct the traffic for all the kids, who ate dinner in “shifts” — God bless you, Juanita, and the entire Mans family~
Thanks Paul – she was all that and so much more!
Juanita and Ralph were my Godparents and for 7 years the best neighbors anyone could ever have on Charles street. I remember Juanita’s left arm hanging out of her car when she was cruising around the neighborhood or on her way to St. Joseph church or school. She was such a wonderful caring person and will be missed by many. Much love! Aldona (Flanigan) Carney
A wonderful person to have known for many many years. So sorry for the family. Will always remember her. From the Cox family (Kevins in laws)
So very sorry for your loss, Juanita was a wonderful person with so much love and joy to give to others. She always had a smile on her face when I would see her at church through the years. I know your family will miss her dearly. Find comfort in knowing she is with you in spirit and will never leave your side. She is smiling down on you from heaven as she sings with the choir of angels. God Bless you all! Rhonda (Reibenspies) & John Schock
I was born 2/23/1970 Kent and Karen were born 2/22/1970. I think it was a matter of hours, I may have jumped out (sorry) just after midnight. Juanita has known me my whole life! She was the most caring! matter of fact, slap you in the face if you needed it. I was family at the mans house. ( They already had 25 kids)…. kidding. only 9. Juanita was special to me, I love her dearly and I will miss her! I love the Mans family! You never truly do not know what you have until its gone! Go Juanita Mans! Bad Ass Woman! djh St.joe boys
