Juanita, beloved mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on December 14, 2023, at the age of 76. Born and raised in Michoacan, Mexico, Juanita's life was a testament to resilience, love, and unwavering strength.
Juanita, accompanied by her first-born son, Miguel Angel Campos, courageously immigrated to the United States in search of greater opportunities. Their shared determination formed the foundation of a life that would come to exemplify strength and perseverance.
In America, Juanita encountered the profound joys of love, marrying and finding a deep connection with her partner. Yet, the path she walked was not without its challenges. When she became a widow, Juanita faced this hardship while carrying the precious gift of new life within her—she was pregnant with Billy Ledesma, and Olga Lydia Ledesma was just 10 months old.

Juanita's wisdom, encapsulated in her belief that "Life is a gift, and every moment is a chance to make it beautiful," reflected her positive outlook on life. She found beauty in simplicity and taught us to appreciate the precious moments we are given.

Additionally, her nieces whom she cared for and loved so much Ana Maria Trinidad, Mariana Velasquez, Roxanna Rodriguez, Arminda Velasquez and a network of family and friends who will forever cherish her memory.
