Juanita went to Lincoln O’Leary Junior High and graduated from Twin Falls High School in 1947 and soon met a young man from Missouri named Herman Alfred Frey.

Juanita enjoyed cooking her famous popcorn balls, cast iron skillet taco pie, and her famous sheet cake.  She loved gardening and enjoyed canning and taught her daughters-in-law the art of canning.  She had an incredible faith and love for her Lord and Savior.  Juanita loved her bible study, the many friends she made, and being a member of the Castleford Grandmother’s Club. She was a kind, giving and loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend to many.
