Juanita Faye Uder (Lebanon)'s Obituary
Juanita Faye Uder, daughter of Oren and Goldie Roberts Hemphill, was born January 2, 1929, near Falcon, Missouri. She departed this life Saturday, October 31, 2015, in her home, near Lebanon, Missouri, at the age of eighty-six years, nine months, and twenty-nine days.
She was preceded in death by her parents; a daughter, Linda Bunch; two brothers, Dale and Don; a sister, Berniece; and two younger siblings.
Juanita is survived by three sons, C. A. Uder, and his wife, Jackie, John Uder, and his wife, Kathy, and Earl Dean Uder, all of Lebanon, Missouri; thirteen grandchildren; twenty-eight great-grandchildren; a number of great-great-grandchildren; two sisters, Evelyn McCormick, of Lebanon, Missouri, and Louise Eady, of Fair Grove, Missouri; several nieces and nephews; as well as a host of other relatives and friends.
She was raised in the Falcon, Missouri area, and graduated from Lebanon High School. She then began working for the Rice Stix Factory in Lebanon, and continued to work for the H. D. Lee Company for over thirty years. At the time of her retirement, she was working in a supervisory position. Juanita was also a devoted homemaker to her family throughout the years.
Juanita professed her faith in Christ early in her life and was an active member of the Oakland Community Church, where she served as treasurer until this last week.
In her spare time she enjoyed quilting and baking. She was particularly known for her cakes and wedding cakes were her specialty. She helped in furnishing transportation for the elderly, seeing that they had rides to various places. She remained very involved in community activities until just recently. Her family was very important to her and she especially enjoyed spending time with all of her grandchildren.
Juanita was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and her accomplishments and know that her family and friends will cherish the wonderful memories she created for them during her eighty-six years.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Oakland Community Church and left at the funeral home.
