Joyce Juanell Francis

Juanell Francis, 81, loving sister, aunt, and friend, went home to be with the Lord on June 12, 2020.

Juanell was born in 1938 to Edd and Naomi Francis. A lifelong Weatherford resident, Juanell graduated from Weatherford College in 1958. She went on to become co-owner of Larson Bookkeeping & Tax Service for many years.

She was a dedicated Christian with a generous heart. Juanell was an accomplished pianist. She used her gift for the Lord as pianist for First Free Will Baptist Church, of which she was a member for over 60 years.

She loved her family faithfully and made each person feel special with her kindness and generosity. Juanell loved shoes, giraffes, shopping, sweet peach tea, the phrase “This Too Shall Pass,” Hallmark movies, and all things purple; but most of all, she loved the Lord.

She is survived by her sister and husband, Dorothy and Morris Brandon; brother and friend, Jim Francis and B.J. Barber; niece and husband, Leah and Tim Caraway; and niece Amy Brandon.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by longtime beau, Fritz Larson.
