Juanita Dolores Scott

Born March 18, 1935, in Houston, Texas to Herbert Schwander and Josephine Walk. Juanita was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Jesse, of 66 years, two siblings, daughter-in-law, and one grandchild.

Jesse and Juanita pledged their love for one another in a Lutheran church on July 4, 1953. They became members of the Church of Latter-Day Saints in 1954. Juanita was a devoted wife to Jesse until his passing March 16, 2019. Along with Jesse, they provided a loving home for their family.

Juanita was an enthusiast of Sammy Davis Jr. She even kissed his hand at a concert. She was so excited that she said, “I am never washing my hand again.” In following her love for classical music, she was always up for a good western movie with Jesse. They would stay up all night watching Gene Autry, Audie Murphy, and of course John Wayne “The Duke.” She was always hungry for a good catfish dinner from Sudies or a Mexican dinner from Casa Ole.

Juanita is survived by her four children: Jesse M. Scott Jr. and wife Shea, Crystal R. Bennett and husband Steve, Mark E. Scott, and Angela M. West and husband Glenn; 7 grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren.

The family would like to thank Regent Care for the loving care and compassion shown for our mother.

Visitation will be held Tuesday, May 30, 2023 from 1:00PM to 2:00PM, with a Celebration of Juanita's Life beginning at 2:00PM in the Chapel of Grand View Funeral Home, 8501 Spencer Highway, Pasadena, Texas 77505. Immediately following, she will be laid to rest at Grand View Memorial Park.
