Juanita June Park entered this world June 9, 1917 in Mangum, Oklahoma. The second child and only daughter of Ezra Neeley and Willie Luella Park, she grew up in Altus graduating from Altus High School and attending Altus Junior College. During her senior year in high school she met a young football player from the junior college, later marrying O.M. "Red" Kizziar. Juanita joined Southwestern Bell Telephone Company upon leaving school retiring after forty years of service. During those years she worked in several telephone offices including the Borden Park Military Support Hospital switchboard during World War II. Following the war she and Red lived in Chickasha where he was stationed with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. A member of the First Baptist Church of Chickasha since 1946, Juanita enjoyed her Sunday School family and attending Triple L luncheons and activities. Dick and Betty Denton held special places in Juanita's heart for their dedicated work in the Sunday School department. Dick and Betty were frequent callers, visitors and supporters during Juanita's long illness at a time when others seemed to have forgotten. Diagnosed in June with a malignant brain tumor, at 91, Juanita decided not to seek futile treatment and chose to stay in her home. There she enjoyed her remaining days with her daughter by her side. Proceeded in death by her husband in 1983 Juanita would later frequently visit her daughter in Texas and they would travel extensively, enjoying their adventures together. In Later years a very special person entered Juanita's life. Lloyd Hoagland and Juanita shared a very special companionship for over 10 years. Juanita is survived by her daughter, Barbara Ann Kizziar, husband Terry Greer and a yellow lab Grand-dog, Brie-Brie of Southlake, Texas. Also very important in Juanita's life during her illness was Keith (Barney) Barnes who never missed a day to call, send flowers or drive up from Texas for a visit. He never failed to obtain a smile from Juanita, even on her most difficult days. As well, Georgia and David Glass will always be remembered for their unfailing friendship and support that brought Juanita so much comfort and a sense of security. It is only during times of trial that true friendship becomes evident. Interment will be in the Fairlawn Cemetery under the direction of Sevier Funeral Home. |
