Lord and Savior on January 6,

She was born in Council Bluffs,
Iowa to Lizzie Luchsinger and

School in Council Bluffs. She
married Sam Pickett in May of
1942. As an army wife she lived
in Fort Riley, Kansas and Japan before finally settling in Denver in
1953, where she and Sam raised their daughters.
Juanita was a homemaker, loving wife, mother and grandmother,
and great-grandmother. After her husband's death she moved to
Grand Junction to be near her family where she enjoyed playing
cards and games, going to dinner and movies, baking, going to
church, and visiting with friends. Juanita enjoyed life and laughter.
