Juanell was a "busy body", always busy doing something or taking care of someone or something. She had the biggest heart for a kid or animal that you could find. She loved a good basket ball game - in the early years as a coach and in the later years she and Pepaw (Lynn) rarely missed a Swink Wildcats ballgame. As for a stock show, they were always there being Chas's #1 supporters.

Although Juanell was a little thing - size did not intimidate her. Known in the early years while teaching school as "Dynamite Darity" She swung a mean paddle. Nothing got past her and if anyone got out of line...well they had to suffer the consequences.
