Juanita Knorr

Juanita Knorr, age 81, passed away Sunday February 21, 2016 at her home in Foley, Alabama. Juanita passed peacefully in the presence of several family members. Juanita was born on October 26, 1934 in Muscoda, Wisconsin to her parents Roy and Beulah (Koller) Merwin. Juanita lost her biological father Roy Merwin, at the young age of four years old. She was also preceded in death by her mother Buelah (Koller), step father William Bohadlo, son Bruce C. Knorr, sister Joyce Merwin and brothers Robert Merwin and Richard Merwin. Juanita moved to and worked in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area soon after graduating high school. After several years she returned to Pardeeville, Wisconsin to be near her mother and new step father, William Bohadlo. It was there that she met and wed her husband, Jerry Knorr. Juanita and Jerry raised a family of four children; Sheryl, Bruce, Kelly, and Robert. Juanita was an active participant in her children’s school functions such as PTA, Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts. Juanita became an avid reader over the years but her greatest passions were playing bridge and traveling. She treasured two European trips that she took with her dear friends, Betty Kornmeyer and Lil White. Juanita is survived by her husband Jerry; daughter Sheryl Lynn Cruz (Glen Riley); daughter Kelly Renee (Lynn) Isensee; and son Robert Jerry (Stacy Hydrick); by grandchildren Ryan Isensee, Ashley Cruz, Melanie Cruz, Sarah Seeton, Joe Seeton, and three great grandchildren. She is further survived by sister-in-law Judy Merwin, brother-in-laws Jack (Cheryl), Tom (Kris), and Robert (Debbie) Knorr; and many nieces and nephews. She also leaves behind dear friends Alice Hanson of Racine, Wisconsin, Kathleen Parker of Foley, Alabama as well her local bridge group. Juanita’s family conveys their deepest appreciation to Community Hospice - specifically to nurse Kaelea and caregiver Shanette. Following Juanita’s wishes, a small service at a later date will include family only. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to Foley Community Hospice of Baldwin County. 1320 N. Mckenzie Street Foley, AL 36535
