I am proud to say that I am one of the hundreds of high school students who had the opportunity to work for Juanita, several times. Although she could be very intimidating, she truly was a respected role model and business woman. I was first hired by Juanita when I was 15 years old. I continued until I graduated high school and move away, shortly thereafter I decided that the big world was more than I anticipated and when I moved back, Juanita was my first stop, she took me back without question. When I married the guy who patiently sat at the orange counter waiting to drive me home day after day, Juanita was at our wedding, just as she had been at my high school graduation! We soon moved out of state, returning 2 years later, and yes, she once again gave me another employment opportunity, without question. But the cool thing about this entire time period was that Juanita had become an employer, mentor, and friend to many of my family members, and beyond. She hired my sisters, my mother, and eventually my son, neices, and nephews. Over the years she would continue to call us each by name when we'd meet at the Wheel, or another location around town. Her heart was huge, but she wasn't afraid to let you know that 7:30am was not acceptable when you were scheduled to work at 7am (do I sound like I speak from experience?!)! Juanita had high expectations for customer service, thus her many, many repeat customers from across the state and beyond. Juanita will always mean the world to the Stachel family, she will be sadly missed. I will forever treasure the opportunities and the memories (which reminds me, Happy Birthday Juanita!:)! Lisa
