By Bob DeLoyd 01/15/2005 Our little Community has lost a longtime resident of our area; I am sad to inform you of the passing of Juanita Young a week ago Wednesday. Juanita was past president of the Copperettes, a post she held for many years until her health started to fail. To me she was more like “I Love Lucy” than Martha Stuart but with a little George Carlin thrown in. Juanita was the first person you’d notice when you walked into a crowded room she really shined. I loved our little talks together and our long running joke about her couch. Juanita used to lounge on it and formed this indentation in the middle, which had gotten deeper thru the years. When I come for a visit I’d say to her, “If ya lay there much longer someday that hole is going to swallow ya up”. To sum up Juanita’s life here is way beyond the capacity of this column and my ability, but I can say that she was loved by both family and friends, and by me.
