Me and Nana shopping together and I always hated shopping but she always made it fun
Juanita was a special lady! Tough exterior at times but the softest and most loving nature inside. I loved getting to know her especially in our Lifegroup. I loved hearing about her travels and was excited with her about the next big adventure she and William were taking next. She is missed but know someday I will see her again singing in the heavenly choir! It’s such a blessing to know she is with her Savior and Lord and King singing praises to Him.
Juanita’s smile could light up a room and her laugh was contagious. I always enjoyed having her in Lifegroup. I would giggle inside when I watched her face when the lesson got off track because I know she loved learning about God’s word so she would want the class to turn back to the lesson. She never said anything but her face said a whole lot.
I also remember how proud she was when she came into class and shared that she had become a US citizen. I was so happy for her. We had several socials where would enjoy conversation and just being together. She called me one evening last year when William went to church and we chatted for about 30 minutes about family and each other’s lives. I will treasure that phone call as it was the last time I got to speak to her. She was precious lady and will be missed dearly.
I had the pleasure of sharing time with Mrs. Juanita at our HOA community cook-out. Her calm and soft spoken demeanor was what I remembered the most. We sat and chatted about community activities and ways we could ban together to continue to build the community spirit. That was definitely a good day! My condolences to her family and sharing prayers and peace to them all.

When I first met Dr Clarke and Sister Juanita Clarke , my first thought was "I hope I get to be this interesting when I get old." They were a blessing to me and my family. One memory I will never forget is the day we moved in to our new house after searching for a place for months. Dr. Clarke and Sister Juanita came to support us. We had a wonderful time talking and we had a time of prayer. As they were leaving, my dad told them it was my birthday. They wished my a happy birthday and we saw them off. Less than an hour later, they were back with a cake! I don’t know how Sister Juanita knew to get my favorite flavor, Red Velvet. I cherish these memories I have with Sister Juanita with the hope and assurance that we will met in heaven again one day.

💖Juanita was like a mother to me. Angelique and I have been best friends since grade 3 and I was welcomed into their family with warmth and kindness. I’ll always remember the day I asked her if I could call her Auntie Juanita because Ms. Gordon was too formal for the feelings I felt towards her. I was in grade 5 💖 She was an amazing role model growing up. So strong, loving, caring. She loved taking us to Prince George to go shopping. Angelique , Dre, Mrs Williams and myself. All of us crammed into her car lol. So many good memories. I will forever be grateful for the last FaceTime we had. She was so sweet and so loving. I will cherish all the memories Auntie Juanita 💖thank you for welcoming me into your family all those years ago. You will forever be missed.
We are deeply saddened to hear that Nita has passed. Please accept our heartfelt condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. Nita was a wonderful person, and we feel grateful to have known her. May her soul rest in peace, and may you find comfort in the love and memories you shared together.
Please know that you are in our hearts and prayers.
With love
Sharada and Oscar
Uncle William,
I’m so sorry for the loss of Auntie Nita. At the same time, I want to celebrate the beautiful life she lived and the love she gave so freely to everyone around her. She was truly special, and her warmth, kindness, and spirit will always be remembered. I hope the many joyful memories you shared bring you comfort and even moments of peace in the midst of this loss.
You’re in my thoughts and prayers, and I’m sending you so much love.
To William and family. Words cannot express the grief I feel at the loss of my friend Juanita. I can only comfort myself and you with the promises of God that we will see her again. We will all miss her for the part she played in our lives and I am honored to be able to call her friend and sister in Christ. I remember her saying that when she get to heaven she wanted to see Jesus and then her family who have preceded her to heaven. May she rest in peace eternal.
