Memorial for Juanita Ann Chevalier
It over 24 years ago, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania an angel was taken away from earth. Her three children would only hear the delicate memories of their mother. They would have a glimmer of a few thoughts that danced in their mind, as they attempt to connect with their mother. Her children are adults now and want to know, "what happened to their mother?" And her blurred story can not be told, because it continuous to be an unsolved murder. Every now and again, Juanita's case surfaces in the Pennsylvania newspaper. But, it slowly fades away until another, wave of inspiration for a story comes to life.
This website will allow you to take a peek into Juanita's life. She was a daughter, sister, mother, granddaughter, niece, and so much more. She was raised in Jamaica, New York, and was baptized at St. James the Less Episcopal Church in Jamaica, New York. St. James the Less was the church that her great grandmother, Maude Holmes White was a long time member.
