Van Alstyne - Juanita "Nita" Lavern Vineyard, 92, of Van Alstyne, passed away on Monday, November 18, 2019 in Van Alstyne, Texas.
Juanita was born on August 3, 1927 in Childress, Texas, daughter of General and Millie Wheeler.  She married Joe Lee Vineyard on January 14, 1955.  They lived in Arlington, Texas for many years until moving to Van Alstyne in 1971 where they raised their children.
She worked as a teacher's aide for Van Alstyne Independent School District for many years.  She also worked for Fred Douglas School in Sherman.  She was always dedicated to her family and after she retired spent much of her time taking care of others.  She loved Jesus and tried to live her life for him.  She was always happy to share a conversation about him to others and her family.  She loved so many and was loved by
so many.
Our mother was a lady of great faith and surrounded herself with ladies that were part of her church family.  They were as close as sisters and shared the love of their family with each other.  They were each other's first calls of the day, worshiped together on Sunday mornings, grandchildren activities, birthday parties, constant companions for lunch, dinner and a mean game of 42 or chicken foot.  Generally when you saw one you saw them all together.  She was a member of the First Baptist Church in Van Alstyne but for the past couple of years she would attend the First Baptist Church in Howe with her son and daughter-in-law.
She is survived by son, Jimmy Vineyard and wife, Veronica of Howe, Texas; 2 daughters, Kathy Edmondson and husband, James, of Denison, Texas; and Karla Sprowl and husband, Jason of Van Alstyne, Texas; grandchildren, Victoria Vineyard, Krista Owens, Faith Griffin, Sydney Sprowl, Riley Joe Sprowl, Amy Foster, Billy Pope, Dylan Guthrie, Amanda Edmondson and Jamey Coleman; great-grandkids, Khloe and Caden Owens; brother, Billy Joe Wheeler of Howe, Texas; many nieces and nephews.
She was proceeded in death by her husband of 44 years, Joe Lee Vineyard; her parents; son Alvin Pope; brothers, J.W. Wheeler, Lee Roy Wheeler, Dolan Wheeler, Vernon Wheeler, Eugene Wheeler, and her only sister, Velma McClusky.
A service to celebrate her life was held Saturday afternoon, November 23, 2019 at Scoggins Funeral Home Chapel in Van Alstyne, Texas.  Burial followed at the Van Alstyne Cemetery.  Services were under the direction of Scoggins Funeral Home,Van Alstyne. - - - North Texas e-News
