Juanita Floretta Mason's Obituary
Juanita Floretta Mason (Pittman) was born in Mobile Alabama on March 29 1951 to the late Henry & Queen Pittman. She departed this life peacefully on July 7 2025 at home surrounded by her family.
Juanita grew up and attended her elementary years in Pritchard, Alabama until her father was relocated by The United States Army to McCllellan Air Force Base stationed in Sacramento California where she attended and graduated from Norte Del Rio High School, American River College, & Bible College.

Juanita received her call to ministry and never looked back. Her love for God and his people was enormous and she saw the best in others even when most people counted others out, she chose to love on others no matter what state they were in, she saw the good and helped to mentor countless others.
