Junette spent a few years cutting hair and caring for her favorite lady, Mrs. Itts. She had many job titles over the years but the job title she loved best was being a Nanny to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She spent many years working at InfoCision.

After retiring, she looked forward to the Tuesdays spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She would cook a big meal along with desserts and would make many fun and loving memories. Junette also enjoyed having her family over for the holidays, including Christmas and Easter, which were her favorites. Junette always enjoyed cooking and baking for the holidays, sitting on her porch soaking up the sun and making fun-loving memories with those around her. She loved the color yellow, sunflowers, elephants and her beloved Elvis. If you asked her what happened to Elvis, she would say he didn’t die, he just went home. Junette is now home with her Lord and her Elvis.
