We always enjoyed our association with you and Juanita in Southern Lights. To see and know Juanita in the many different settings in which she was involved was to be constantly surprised at her talents and abilities. She truly was a many talented person.
Sincerely, Jim & Doris Tanquary
It is wonderful to know that heaven is now graced with one of God’s most faithful servants. One day we pray that we can join her, and many other special saints, in His Kingdom. Nita will live forever in our hearts and minds until we meet again. Grace & Peace, Charles & Chris

Dear Ralph, I read the sad news this morning in the on-line Hendersonville newspaper. I have so many fond memories of Nita during my years at Cumberland Village. I know you will miss her terribly, but you have the assurance of one day being together again. My prayers are with you and your family. Your former neighbor, Elfie Wilde.
Hi Ralph, Judy and I are so sorry for your loss, you both made a great couple. I know you will draw on your strength in the Lord during this time. We had some GOOD times together. Cherish the memories until we meet again. Love, Jim & Judy
Nita will be missed. Nobody worked harder than Nita to help Church Women United be what it could be.
Dear Ralph, It was wonderful seeing you and celebrating Nita’s life at the funeral. Know that you are in Peg and my prayers. Will you be living in PA from now on? Do let us know. I have memories of you both from dinner at your home, meeting at the Elvis music downtown and Nita at CWU. Blessings to you and your family.
Love,
Mary Lou Herlihy
It was a joy to work with Nita at Land-of-Sky Regional Council. She had a big smile, a big laugh, and an even bigger heart. God’s blessings and peace on your family during this difficult time.
May God’s peace comfort you during your loss. Nita was a special woman.
Ralph:
We have good memories of Nita from our years together at Southern Lights. We know she had many talents and was always ready to share them in the community. We trust you will be happy as you resettle in Pennsylvania and will keep your former friends in your memory.
So sorry to hear of Aunt Nita’s passing. I never got to see her or Uncle Ralph much, but when we did, she treated us as if we saw her all the time. She was always interested in what was going on in our lives. We send our love and prayers to Unlce Ralph, Naomi and John and Tracy and her family.
Heaven

God bless this mighty woman of God!!
may we all walk such a road as mother Storm.
love Diane
Naomi & Family,
I am very sorry for your loss. You all are in my prayers.
Dear Naomi – I loved reading your Mom’s obit – what a wonderful lady she was, serving God and churches throughout her lifetime. I did not know that she was so involved in women of the ELCA and other church women’s organizations. You can be proud to be her daughter.
Naomi,
Thank you so much for sharing this chapter of your life with me. I had no idea (or knew and forgot!) that your mom went to WVWC! Now that my daughter Kelsey is at Wesleyan, I can imagine how special it was for her that you chose to go there. My prayers are with you and your family.
Love,
Leslie
