Juanita Mary Albright McFadden, born March 14, 1925, in Hazel Park, Michigan, passed away on January 26, 2026, in Stuart, Florida, just weeks before her 101st birthday.

Halloween was her favorite holiday, and she embraced it with unmatched enthusiasm. Every year she dressed up, hosted lively parties, and created memories her loved ones will cherish forever. She spent many of her days on the golf course (while participating as chair of the Ladies Golf League). As the years went on, she became quite the croquet player-competitive, spirited, and always ready for another round. She remained active throughout her entire life, building a community in the church, taking daily walks, and greeting each day with energy and intention.

Every evening, she enjoyed a glass of white wine, a small ritual that marked the close of another full and beautiful day. For several years, she made the long drive from Florida to Colorado, with her loyal mannequin companion, Alex, spending her summers surrounded by family, sunshine, and the warm mountain air. When they were not traveling, Alex would sit quietly in the living room to keep her company while she knitted.

Her life was long, but more importantly, it was rich - with tradition, laughter, movement, love, and a deep devotion to family and friends. Her presence brought warmth and peace to those around her. She will be remembered not only by the years she lived, but also the spirit she brought into every room, every holiday, and every shared moment.

She is survived by her three children — Pamm, Mike (Jenny), and Brian (Lana) —along with four grandchildren, Katelyn (Cal), Bryanna (Austin), Molly (Hayden), and Kali (Colin), and three great-grandchildren, Hazel, Parker, and Laiken. Each of them carries forward her humor, her warmth, and her unmistakable zest for life.

Juanita is reunited now with her beloved husband, Don McFadden, who passed in September of 1991, a love and partnership that shaped so much of the life she lived.

A celebration of Juanita’s life will be held on April 10th, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. at Mariner Sands Country Clubhouse (Nest Dining Room), 6500 SE Mariner Sands Dr., Stuart, Florida, 34997, where family and friends are invited to gather, share stories, and honor the legacy of a full life.
