Juanita, the daughter of Wallace Frush and Johanna Catarina (Coobs) Pavey, was born April 6, 1921 in Klemme. She graduated from Klemme High School in 1938. On October 12, 1940 she married John Dwight Clements at the Methodist Church in Estherville. They lived in Klemme where they operated the DX service station and repair shop for many years. John died in 1968. She then worked for the Garner school system. In 1974 she married Howard Meyers, and they lived in Clear Lake where she worked part-time at the Surf Ballroom. He died in 1989, and she continued to reside in Clear Lake until December 2005 when she moved to the Cedar Falls Health Care Center. Juanita enjoyed visits from family and friends and the companionship of her cats, Tina and Millie. She spent hours watching the birds that came to her feeders. Her family treasured her talents of crocheting, cross-stitching, and quilting and her beautiful heirloom afghans and quilts.

She is survived by sons James (Karon) Clements of Cedar Falls and Jerry (Judy) Clements of Aiken, SC; grandsons Jeffrey (Kris) Clements of Cedar Falls, Jonathan Clements of Ames, Jason (Sheri) Clements of West Des Moines, and Jon A.
