Juanita Kathleen Nutt's Obituary
Juanita Kathleen Nutt, 84, went to be with the Lord on April 20, 2007. She was born June 17, 1922 in Tarentum, PA to Harold and Louise Gravatt. Her family moved to Marlin, TX in 1925 and later settled in Corsicana, TX in 1934. At the tender age of 12 she moved down the street from a boy who would become the love of her life. On January 21, 1940 she married that boy, her sweetheart, John Wesley Nutt, Sr. and together they began a family that grew to be one of their greatest joys. Juanita kept very busy taking care of anyone she saw had a need. It was her love for taking care of others that led her to pursue a LVN nursing certification at the age of 50. She went on to work in the nursing field for the next 15 years before retiring, but she never retired from looking after others. Mrs. Nutt was an active member of Mobberly Baptist Church and a devoted Sunday school teacher of the Joy Class. Her love and compassion for others leaves many cherished memories for her family and friends to hold on to.
She will be dearly missed by her husband of 67 years, John W. Nutt Sr. Her children, Larry Nutt and wife Jan, Diane Bower and husband Jerry, Johnny Nutt and wife Merilyn. Her grandchildren, Amy Timmons, Robin Best, Jamie Andrews, Judie Bower, John Nutt III, Michael Nutt, Cyndi Brumit, and 13 Great-Grandchildren.
Funeral services will be 10:00 am Monday, April 23 in the Chapel of Rader Funeral Home of Longview with Dr. Gregg Zackary officiating. Interment will follow at Lakeview Memorial Gardens. The family will receive friends Sunday, April 22 at the funeral home from 4-6 PM.
