Juanita was born February 19, 1945 in Ainsworth, NE, the daughter of Lawrence and Verna (Gable) Davis.  She graduated from East High School in 1963

She married Vincent Beaubien on August 10, 1963, in Dakota City, NE.  The couple resided in Sioux City until moving to Correctionville, in 1975.  Juanita worked at various places, including the Uniform Shop and Zenith TV in Sioux City; VT Industries in Holstein; and Wilson Foods (later Tyson) in Cherokee retiring in 2012.

She was a member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Moville, IA.

Juanita was a devoted wife, loving mother and grandma.  She enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her 7 grandchildren.  Although she lived in Iowa her heart was in Nebraska, from the Nebraska Cornhuskers to the Sandhills of Bassett and Long Pine.  She was RED through and through.  Juanita also loved horses, especially her loving horse Ceasar.  Stories have been told about the many times she would be caught singing to Red the horse at her Grandma and Grandpa’s ranch.  When her daughters were little she would often sew matching outfits for them.  She also loved to make cards for her family and friends.  If any of you ever received one of her hand-made cards, please cherish it, as we know how much love she put into each & every one of them.  She was artistic and loved to make yard signs and poems out of candy wrappers to celebrate milestone birthdays for her family and friends.  She also loved to take pictures. Once she got a camera in her hand, she would never put it down.  Her favorite thing to eat was a hotdog with 1 single slice of cheese (individually wrapped cheese), a chocolate malt, and a piece of coconut cream pie from the Milwaukee Weiner House. She also, still enjoyed meeting up for lunch with some of her East High classmates and girlfriends from Woodrow Wilson Jr. High. She will truly be missed by all who were blessed to have known her. 

Survivors left to cherish and honor her memory include: a son, Bryan Beaubien of Correctionville, 4 daughters, Angela Kayl (Tom) of Lawton; Jaimee Beaubien, Holly Beaubien, Elaine Hansen, of Sioux City; 7 grandchildren, Shey Swenson, Josey Carroll, Tristen, Alexandra, and Danielle Kayl, Beau Beaubien, and Kennedy Beaubien; Sister Pam Shever (Terry) of Correctionville; Father Lawrence (Teena) Davis of Colorado Springs, CO.  Other survivors include numerous nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and amazing friends.

She is preceded in death by her husband Vincent, daughter Andrea and son-in-law David Carroll, mother Verna Kohn and her husband William Kohn, sister Janice Wright, her half-brother Gary Davis, paternal and maternal grandparents, and her faithful horse Ceasar.

We love you to the moon and back.

Eternal Rest Grant Unto Her Oh Lord; And May Perpetual Light Shine Upon Her…
