Juanita Lucille Impson

December 1, 1932 - November 30, 2022

Juanita Lucille (Moore) Impson was called home on November 30th, 2022. She was surrounded by her family and went to join the love of her life, Cecil Impson Jr. Something she had long desired to do. Juanita was very steadfast on her terms and how she would leave this earth. She met all of her terms and left us laughing with her up until the very end.

She slept for a while and then woke up and tried to convince all of us that she had died and came back! We all surrounded her with love and our presence in the exact way she always was for us. If anything, Granny was always witty, she was funny. She made jokes and she made us make promises to her that we will never break. To take care of each other. That is what family does and that is what they built. We WILL take care of each other and be there.

Granny, like Papa, was so much about family and she was the very best about keeping all of us together. Every birthday, every holiday we were all together and Granny wouldn't have had it any other way. Birthdays, oh we would sing "Happy Birthday" but then she had her own tweek to it, we ALL sang it. St. Patrick's Day, you better be wearing green (the right color green) or she was going to get you. She was a pincher and I swear she had the pointiest nails on the planet.

Jaunita had three children, Cecil (Ernie), Joy and Debbie, the lights of her life. She had six grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren that I think it was established today, that we were ALL spoiled compared to their three children. You know, It kinda happens. Once you have kids.... But she always made everyone feel special.

Granny (Juanita) always made it a point to make every single one of us feel special and loved in our own way. How amazing is that? What a woman. She had very individual relationships with all of her children, grand children and greats. That was just Granny. Granny loved bigger than herself. She was the best person you could ever hope to meet. She made us all bigger than we felt and made sure that we knew it and our worth.

If you ever met Juanita (Granny) you now had a "Granny". That is just who she was. Her children's friends, her grandkids friends...she was just Granny. What a Granny to have!

Also, if you were not a Texas Longhorns fan, you would be welcome in her precense until you spoke something ill of the Longhorns, you just didn't do that! She was a die hard Longhorns fan and very pround of our Irish heritage. You better toot for the Longhorns and wear the right color green on St.Patrick's Day! If you didn't, you would defintely meet her "pinchers". She had the sharpest fingernails in the world.

Granny raised all of us to have the family connection, to stay close and to watch out for each other. It speaks volumes how close our family has been because of Papa and Granny. We will. She gave us "marching orders" down to the very last minute. We were there and we heard them and will honor them.

Granny and Papa both taught us so much about being a family unit and the importance of it. The solid examples of love we have all seen between Papa and Granny, with their kids grandkids and great-grandkids. Yet the love they had between the two of them. We all came from an amazing set of people and very naturally.

They are finally together again and while it pains us so, they have left a legacy for their family and friends.

Please help us celebrate the unification of our Dad, Mom, Granny, Toot.

HOOK 'em!!!!
