Juanita Louise Sampson of Kalispell went home to be with Jesus March 22, 2023. At the time of her death, Juanita was in the loving care of her three daughters in Wasilla Alaska.

Juanita was born July 7, 1933, to the late Lloyd and Francis Landon of Columbia Falls. She met and married her late husband of 59 years, Paul Sampson, in 1949. Besides both her parents and husband, Juanita is preceded in death by her sister Vallie Lorass; brother Mike Landon; and youngest son Jerry Sampson.

She is survived by her eldest son Rocky Sampson, eldest daughter Debbie Sampson, and twin daughters Carri Sampson and Terri Cothren. She is also survived by 11 grandchildren, Kenny, Richard, Micah, Toni, Geri, Arette, Amanda, Talia, Scott, Amber, and Tessa; 16 great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren.

Juanita led an abundantly blessed life and passed those blessings to her family through her strong faith, ceaseless prayer, and obedient sacrifices. She loved spending time with her children and grandchildren, playing games, and working on puzzles. Her family is comforted in knowing she is dancing in heaven with Jesus. A celebration of life is planned for July 7, which would have been her 90th birthday.
