Juanita Carter Mikles, 96, of Holmes Beach, FL passed away on August 25, 2022.
Juanita "Nita" was born in Ft. Pierce, FL, but spent most of her life in Norfolk, Virginia, Houston, Texas, and Holmes Beach, Florida. Instantly liked by everyone who met her, she was an anchor of faith to her family and friends who loved her dearly. Over her 96 years of life, Nita was a cancer survivor who also had arthritis, a heart condition, and other health issues. However, she never allowed any of these many ailments to prevent her from having a cheerful positive attitude toward life. She was not only a mother to her two children but was also a friend who was always there. Despite her age, she regularly read her bible and texted her family and friends including cell phone photos. Not bad for 96!
Music and Art were some of her passions. A self-taught artist she painted several paintings over her lifetime. Her musical instruments were flute, accordion, and piano. Nita also loved RVs and owned three during her lifetime. She was very involved with nutrition and supplements many years before they became popular. But above all, she was a believer and was quoted saying "I'm going to heaven. Not sure what my position will be there, but I'm going."
She is survived by her children; Richard Mikles and wife, Angela, Dana Davis., grandchild; Kimberly Potter, and great-grandchildren; Juliauna, Elijah, and Genesis. She was married to Richard Mikles, Sr. who passed away in 1976 and never remarried.
She will always be remembered for the wonderful human being that she was, and everyone who knew her is better for it. Memorial Service will be at 11:00 A.M. Friday, September 9, 2022, at Brown & Sons Funeral Homes & Crematory, 43rd Street Chapel, 604 43rd Street West Bradenton, Florida 34209, and also on Facebook live https://www.facebook.com/brownandsonsfuneral.
