Juanita Schuler - February 20, 1929 - September 13, 2009

Juanita Schuler born on February 20,1929, former long time resident of Gilroy, CA, went to meet her Savior on her favorite day of the week Sunday, September 13, 2009. She was born in OK to her parents, Troy and Mae Phillips along with her younger brother Coy Phillips who have pre-deceased her. Her family migrated from OK to AR in a covered wagon when she was very young and settled in CA in her early teens.

She is survived by her devoted and loving husband of 64 years Howard, her son Dale, her daughter Vicki and son-in-law Jim Delbridge and her five grandchildren, Steve and Eric Schuler and Jeff, Gina and Amy Bracco. She also left behind five great-grandchildren, Troy, Emily, Megan, Katie and Marina Schuler.

She was a longtime member of Gilroy First Assembly of God, now known as New Hope Community Church. She was a beloved wife and mother and was everyone's #1 grandmom to not only her natural grandchildren but to many who had come to love and adopt her as their own. She worked for over a decade as the kitchen supervisor at the IOOF Children's Home. Juanita will be remembered by her devotion to her church family and her willingness to pray for their many needs. All of her family will miss her and love her always beyond words.

The family wishes any memorial donations be given in her honor to New Hope Community Church. Funeral Services will be Saturday, Sept. 19, 2009 11:00 A.M. at New Hope Community Church, Gilroy. Visitation will begin at 9:00 A.M. at church.
