While we hadn't communicated; Juanita and I, for many years- we used to work together at Campus Activities for Yavapai College, Verde Valley Campus. We had a number of classes together, including Spanish where I fondly remember all of us meeting for a class dinner at Casa Bonita in Clarkdale. There were many memorable and goofy moments while on the job as well. Juanita was full of positivity, honor, and loyalty to her Latina heritage. I learned so much about the expectations and traditions of Latina women through her, all of which she welcomed gracefully. My sincere condolences to her family. I am so grateful our paths crossed all those years ago. She was a beautiful soul.
