Juanita lived most of her adult life in Tomahawk, Medford, Monroe and finally New Glarus while spending many winters in Lakeland, Fla., where she was a founder of the "Merry Widows" group.
She leaves to mourn her, a son, Tom (Debbie) Gabriel and daughter, Juanita Kielley (Jerry) Dahlen; her grandchildren, Erin (Robb) Schiesl, Carrie (Mike) Lawlor and Tony (Heidi) Gabriel; her great-grandchildren, Nadia and Kyla Schiesl and baby Aidan Lawlor; and a special niece, Patty.

Juanita "Peggy" was a joy to know. She attacked life with wit, wisdom, sass and humor.

She will truly be missed.
