She was born May 1, 1930, at home near Titus Corners, Zanesfield, to the late Kenneth and Mae Ramsey Penhorwood.
She married Lester Barnhart on Jan. 8, 1949, in Greenup, Ky., and he preceded her in death Jan. 12, 1961. She married Sinclair Boerger, on Dec. 31, 1963, and he preceded her in death March 17, 1970. She also was preceded in death by a brother, Leo Penhorwood.

She was a faithful member and active volunteer with the Springfield First Christian Church and was a former longtime member of the West Mansfield Church of Christ. She graduated from Rushsylvania High School in 1948.
Always a pet lover, Juanita especially appreciated the companionship of her current cat, "Tiger."
Though she endured much pain, Juanita possessed an optimistic outlook and always had a smile to share.
