Born in Memphis, TN, she grew up in Jonesborough, TN. Juanita married Charles F. Burger, on June 30, 1963. It was in Lake Worth, Florida where she began her career with the Social Security Administration as a service representative and claims representative. At which time they started their family with the birth of their daughters Robin Lee in 1966 and Amy Sue in 1969. In 1972 the Burger family moved to Bradenton, Florida during which Juanita took a brief break from working to be a stay-at-home mother during her daughters' elementary school days. She returned to the Social Security Administration in Bradenton until she retired in early 2003. She was an active dedicated member of the First United Methodist Church since 1972. A loving and devoted Wife, Mother, Memaw and friend. She was a very unique lady with a big contagious smile that would light up any room. She gave hugs that warmed your heart. Her willingness to place others before her own needs and help in any way she could were only a brief insight into the way she expressed her love for others. She showed Jesus love to everyone. She loved her family and if you were her friend, you had her as a friend for life.
