Mary Juanita Crowell Watts, 96, of Clute returned to her Father in Heaven on November 10, 2018. She was born March 18, 1922 to John Crowell and Mary Williams Crowell in Kosse, Texas.

Juanita loved music and dancing. As a little girl she would dance with Bob Wills holding onto his coattail when he performed in Kosse, Texas.

She married Walter Ancle Watts on March 2, 1940. Juanita and Ancle moved to Velasco in 1942 with their two young children where they lived in Dow's Camp Chemical Housing before moving to their home in Clute, Texas.

Juanita was a member of Temple Baptist Church for 63 years serving 27 of those years as Director of the Adult Department. She also enjoyed serving in Temple Baptist's 9th Period Youth Program where she impacted countless lives. She worked for B.I.S.D. with special needs children and also was an Aid at Creekside Village Nursing Home.

Juanita is preceded in death by her husband of 56 years, Walter Ancle Watts, parents, three sisters, four brothers and her great granddaughter Chelsie Watts.
