Juanita Lee's life was a sermon well-lived. She will be remembered for her unconditional love, unbounded faith, and commitment to Hebron United Methodist Church, where she served for 70 years as pianist and for many years as adult Sunday school teacher. While she was active in many civic and service activities, her family and friends were the center of her life. She had many friends across all generations, and she treasured them all. To those friends, and especially to the family, she will always be the smiling, welcoming, loving Momma, Grandmother and "Miss Juanita" who made our lives so special.
Honorary pallbearers are members of Hebron United Methodist Church, and Juanita's loyal caregivers, who so faithfully and lovingly cared for her.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Hebron United Methodist Church, c/o Lori Edwards, 18 Lee Drive, Aliceville, AL 35442. .
