Juanita Faye Pasma

She was born on September 22,1937, in Pryor, OK, to Virgil and Mary Franklin. She was raised in Manteca, CA, and lived most her life in Kerman, CA, raising her family. She moved to Fresno, CA, 15 years ago where she enjoyed and was a committed member of Immanuel Lutheran Church. She enjoyed lunches after church with her fellow church members. She also enjoyed her monthly lunches with her "Sun Empire" girls and never missed one. Juanita loved working in her yard and keeping all her plants healthy. In the winter time, she enjoyed doing jigsaw puzzles and always had one on her card table.

She graduated in 1955, from Manteca High School. Soon after, Juanita met Roger Pasma, and they were married on January 10, 1959. They were married for 37 years, and raised three children. Juanita worked for 33 years for Kerman Telephone Co., Sebastian Communications today, and loved her job. They were a second family to her and her family. They are very fond memories of our second family. She enjoyed spending time with her kids and grandchildren. For all that knew her, she was a true Elvis fan!
