Our deepest sympathies
Our heartfelt sympathies to the entire McIntosh family. An eternal presence with the Lord…what joy she must be experiencing now. May God bless each of you.
My sympathies go out to all of you. Your mom and wife was a great women. She did a lot to make Dunkerton School system a good school and a safe place for all the kids. May God bless all of you.
Juanita was an important part of my childhood as a neighbor, and in later years as a loyal school board member working with my father. I’m sure she will be missed by many people. My sympathies to her family and friends.
I was sorry to read about Juanita’s passing, but know that she is now Home with her Lord and Savior. I knew her in Baptist women’s work when I was active with 1st Baptist Church in Cedar Falls. I enjoyed visiting with her when we would be at area or regional meetings. Please accept my sympathy – she will be missed!
We knew her as Aunt Nita and we enjoyed her visit on her last trip to Michigan. She was a very special lady and our sympathy is sent to the entire family.

Was deeply saddened to hear of Aunt Nita’s passing. I am so glad that I was able to spend some time with her and JorgeAnn when they were here a few years ago. She was a wonderful woman who will be missed by the many family and friends who were blessed to have known and loved her. She will always be forever in our hearts. My heartfelt condolences to everyone.
It is with a heavy heart that I heard of Aunt Nita’s passing. I will continue to hold deep in my heart my many wonderful memories of spending my summer on her dairy farm and having the chance to meet my cousins and all. I am forever blessed for having known and loved her. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Love and prayers go with you as we remember a beautiful lady in every sense of the word. Bob enjoyed being a fellow school board member with Juanita with her wise decisions.
I am so sorry for your loss. May “the God of all comfort” (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) comfort and soothe your heart. His promises, found in the Holy Scriptures, can offer much hope. It assures us at John 5:28,29 that our loved ones will be remembered and brought back to life in the resurrection. Please allow God’s Word to strengthen you and help you to endure this most difficult time.
