Juanita was born on October 15, 1933 in Liberty, TX to parents Willis Thibodeaux and Ovena Blanchard Thibodeaux. She later married Donald Moore and they resided in Liberty then moving later on to Smith Point, TX. While in Smith Point they operated a shrimp Boat, Miss Nita, for several years. After the loss of Donald, she returned to Liberty and married Henry Lee Griffin.
Never wavering in her Christian faith and always positive no matter what life events came her way, she loved life. She made the most of any and all opportunities offered to her while on this earth. She had an infectious personality and generosity that will be missed by all that knew her. She will be remembered by her smile, laughter, kindness, and nurturing traits. Juanita was a very vibrant individual, keeping herself busy with her many hobbies, such as sewing, painting, traveling, socializing, and entertaining. You name it, she “seized the moment” every chance she had! She loved her numerous family members and friends and would do anything for them. Her love of children within her immediate family and beyond led her to raise and teach those children, based on Proverbs 22:5-7 which states “Train a child in the way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it”. She taught many life-long skills and lessons to these children that will remain throughout their lives.
She is preceded in death by her parents, her first husband, Donald Moore, and 13 siblings.
She is survived by her husband, Henry Lee Griffin and her stepsons; Henry Lee Jr., Randy, and Bruce, her sisters; Anna Fregia and husband C.D., and Caroline Goins Martin and husband Jimmy, her brother; Phill Thibodeaux and wife Pat, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, relatives, friends, and her extended Smith Point, Texas family.
