The family of Juanez Riddle Fugitt, of Murfreesboro, announces her passing on Feb. 23, 2013 surrounded by her family.  She was 85. She was born on March 6, 1927 in Murfreesboro, Ark. She was the daughter of Robert A. (Bob) Riddle and Daisy House Riddle.

She was a member of the Church of Christ in Murfreesboro. After her retirement as a USDA poultry inspector, she loved to work with and for the Senior Citizen Center in Murfreesboro. She loved to cook, sew, and travel when she was able. Some of her greatest joys were her yearly mother-daughter excursions and the many special times, she spent with her son, Tommy.  Her peanut brittle was second to none and chocolate pies were perfect. The angels in heaven will be celebrating her arrival, but those left behind will be missing her.
