Mission Trail Lions Mourn Loss of Lion Juanita Martin

Lion Juanita Martin passed away peacefully in her sleep on February 23. Born in Roseville, CA on June 27, 1922, she moved to Carmel after marrying the love of her life, J. B. Martin, Jr., on July 10, 1960.

Juanita enjoyed knitting, baking and, above all else, spending time with her family. She was also very fond of penguins, Reba McEntire, crossword puzzles and her extensive Teddy Bear collection and was proud to be a charter member of the Mission Trail Lions Club of Carmel. Juanita passionately supported the projects of the club, Diabetes, White Cane, and City of Hope.

Juanita, or “Nana” as her many great-grandchildren called her, is survived by her loving daughter and son-in-law, CST Lion Jean and ZC Lion George “Bud” Westcott, granddaughter Lion Ginger Huse and grandson Lion George “Wes” Westcott, all of Mission Trail Lions Club, son Millard Martin of WA, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and one great-great-granddaughter.
