Juanita S. Bihl, a cherished member of the Bledsoe community, passed away on February 4, 2026, in Levelland, Texas. Born on February 16, 1949, in Morton, Texas, she grew up surrounded by a large family, fostering a sense of togetherness that she carried throughout her life.

Juanita dedicated her life primarily to being a homemaker, straddling the dual roles of a devoted parent and an industrious custodian.

A lifelong member of Bledsoe Baptist Church, Juanita found solace and joy in gospel music, often sharing her passion by singing in church alongside her friends and community members. She treasured her upbringing in Bledsoe and the relationships forged with her many siblings and cousins, which formed the foundation of her strong familial bonds.
