Juanita Wies

Juanita was born on 11/11/1931 to Bal and Josephine Whitt in Royalton, KY. After graduating from high school in Salyersville, KY she married Gale Frederick Wies at the age of 18. They immediately moved to south bend Indiana for a few years and then moved to Tempe, AZ in the late 1950's. She chose to live in Arizona for the rest of her life.

Growing up, Juanita (Mom/Grams), was always there for us, whether we needed help with our homework or a shoulder to cry on. She was a woman of strong faith and instilled in us the importance of family, hard work, and doing what is right. She always knew Earth was her temporary home and looked forward to spending eternity with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She was a role model who we will greatly miss.

Juanita was predeceased by her husband Gale in 1965. Her daughter Lena Yvonne Bell and her son Jimmy Gale Wies. Her parents Bal and Josephine Whitt and 8 of her brothers and sisters; Chalmer, Namon, Byron, Forest, Jessie Belle, Estelle, Avanell, and Betty Jo. Juanita is survived by her daughter Rhonda Wies, her son Keith Wies and her grandchildren Whitt Revis, Orenda Moyes, Naomi Bennett, Bethany Jones, Kathryn Stills, and her brother Anthony Whitt. Along with her 9 great grandchildren and extended family.
