Juanita Ann (Ehrlich) Thompson passed away on Thursday, December 16, 2021. She was born on Tuesday, June 13, 1933, in Shattuck, Oklahoma, to Carrie (Kerbs) and Willie George "Bill" Ehrlich.
Juanita spent her early years as a farm girl in Shattuck, helping with the animals, the farming, and milking. When she lost her mother at age 14, she went to join her older sister at school in Keene, TX. It was there, as a teenager, that she met the love of her life, Kenneth Thompson. They were married Christmas Day of 1952 and enjoyed almost 65 happy years until his death in 2017.
Juanita received her nursing degree at TCU and worked as a nurse for several years until the couple moved to Albuquerque in 1958 and went into business. She and Kenneth built Kenneth P. Thompson Co. into a successful commercial masonry company.
But her greatest joy was her family. She raised a daughter, Renee and was bless with two grandchildren that were the pride of her heart. She was truly the favorite in our family! Nita was the sweetest mother, grandmother, the most loving and devoted wife, the kindest daughter, sister, and friend.
She was loved beyond measure by all who knew her, if even briefly. She exuded kindness, concern for others, and devotion to her family throughout her life. Even in the worst of her dementia, she would ask if there was anything she could do for someone.
Juanita is survived by her daughter, Renee Sensabaugh (husband, Lane); grandson, Nicholas Masker and his children, Brodie and Scarlett; granddaughter, Ondra Masker; brother-in-love, Richard Thompson; and other family and friends who will miss her deeply.
She will be laid to rest between her beloved husband, Kenneth; and her baby boy, Little Paul, in Keene, Texas.
