LaJuene was sassy, quick witted, and always had a smile on her face. The only thing she loved more than people, was being able to visit with them. She loved going to Walkers, Wilmas, The Grocery Store, of course the Post office, and out to eat where each stop was just about stopping in to talk. She absolutely loved watching her grandkids play sports and rarely ever missed a game. She was always the loudest one in the stands, but always the proudest too. LaJuene could light up any room she walked into, and had a laugh that all will be able to hear in their head forever.
