Juanita Elizabeth Williford, 86, went home to be with our Lord, peacefully surrounded by loving family at Palm Garden on Saturday, November 14, 2015.
Born in Tampa, Fla., she was a lifelong area resident. She was a loving, kind, hardworking woman who loved nothing more than being surrounded by family and friends, especially over a big home-cooked meal. She enjoyed travel, camping, fishing, reading and nature.
Juanita was preceded in death by her parents, Julius C. and Elizabeth Willis Glisson. She is survived by her husband of 71 years, James M. Williford; sons Randall (Ann) Williford, Ralph (Donna) Williford, and Allen (Lynda) Williford; grandchildren Melissa Williford Chandler, Aleece Williford King, Heather Richards Serafin, Marcus Williford, Amy Williford Giesler, Jamey Williford, Amanda Williford Nece, Joshua Williford, and Caitlen Williford Murrell; 12 great-grandchildren; and many cousins.
The family gratefully acknowledges the staff at Palm Garden of Sun City Center and the LifePath Hospice Silver Team for their years of loving care.
Services were held at National Cremation & Burial Society, 308 E. College Ave. in Ruskin, on November 18, 2015.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Juanita’s name to the USF Foundation, Inc., and mailed to USF Health Byrd Alzheimer’s Institute, 12901 Bruce B. Downs Blvd., MDC70, Tampa, FL 33612, Attn: Daniel Minor.

<p style="text-align: center;"><i>We thought of you today,
but that is nothing new.

We think of you in silence and often speak your name.

It’s the heartache of losing you that will never go away.</i></p>
