Juanita Poteet

November 3, 1929 — May 8, 2020

Juanita Poteet, 90, of Cleveland went home to be with the Lord on Friday, May 8, 2020. She passed away peacefully in her home.
She was born on November 3, 1929 to the late Roy R. Kelley and the late Audrey Mae Kelley. She was married to the late Glenn T. Poteet in 1949, and they lived together in Cleveland for 37 years. Together they had four children. She worked at Hardwick Clothes for 35 years before retiring. During this time, she developed many lifetime friendships, which she greatly enjoyed in the years to follow.
Juanita loved the Lord and was a long time member of First Baptist of Cleveland, as well as Big Springs Methodist Church. She loved traveling, listening to gospel and country music, and spending time with family, friends, and her cat, Taco. She loved to laugh, as well as make others laugh, and she rarely missed her favorite show, Wheel of Fortune.
