Juanita Steele

88, of Farmersville, passed away Sunday, June 11, 2023.

She was born October 27, 1934 in Pineville, Kentucky, to the late Clarence “Bonnie” L. and Nora E. (Shepard) Broyles.

In addition to her parents, Juanita was preceded in death by her loving mother, Hallie Broyles; siblings, Bonnie Jr., Modena, Harold, and Vernon; and son-in-law, Larry Jarvis.

She is survived by her daughters, Cathleen Johnson, Charlene Jarvis, and Lorene Landis; grandchildren, David (Jessica) and Evan; and great grandchildren, Willow and Foster.

Juanita embraced life with unwavering enthusiasm. She approached each day with a twinkle in her eye and a genuine love for those around her. Juanita's warm smile and infectious laughter lit up any room she entered, bringing joy to all who had the privilege of knowing her.

One of Juanita's great passions in life was immersing herself in the pages of a good mystery book. She had an insatiable thirst for knowledge and could often be found lost in the world of literature.

An independent spirit, Juanita was a trailblazer in her own right. She embraced life's challenges head-on, carving her own path and proving that determination knows no bounds. Juanita's fierce independence was an inspiration to those around her, reminding us all to live life on our own terms.

But perhaps what defined Juanita the most was her commitment to helping others. She selflessly dedicated her time and energy, and was always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. Juanita's involvement in the community extended to her membership at Farmersville United Methodist Church, where she faithfully served and found solace in her faith.

In the hearts of her family, Juanita will forever be remembered as a loving mommy, cherished granny, and dear friend. Her love and support knew no bounds, and her presence brought comfort and strength to those around her. Juanita's belief in the power of love and kindness will continue to guide us as we navigate life without her physical presence.

She leaves behind a multitude of treasured memories that will forever be etched in our hearts. Her vibrant spirit, love of reading, devotion to helping others, and independence will serve as a reminder to us all to embrace life fully and live it with purpose.

The visitation will be held Thursday, June 15 from 10AM to 11AM at Farmersville United Methodist Church, 110 W Center St, Farmersville, OH 45325.  The funeral service will begin at 11AM with Pastor Henry Folgoso officiating.  A private burial will take place at Preble Memory Gardens Cemetery, West Alexandria.
