All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ========================================================================== ::South Heights Cemetery--Sapulpa OK Juanita Lorraine Harton Robinson Scott, 93, longtime Boonville, Missouri resident passed away Saturday, October 14, 2006 at Pleasant Valley Nursing Home in Muskogee. Juanita was born November 20, 1912 in Sapulpa, Oklahoma to Ben and Hattie Vera (Brown) Harton. She spent her early in Sapulpa where she graduated from Sapulpa High School. Juanita moved her family to Sedalia, Missouri in 1941 and then settled in Boonville in the mid 1940's. In 1967 she was appointed as County Collector of Cooper County, Missouri and was elected to three additional terms before retiring. Juanita was a talented musician. She played piano and sang in the Nelson Memorial United Methodist Church choir for 50 years. During World War II, Juanita had her own song published. Although it never made the hit parade it was a local hit. She also had several poems published in Ladies Home Journal and the Kansas City Star. She could put together a poem in minutes and in any verse. Give her a few more minutes and she'd have a song that would fit the poem. Juanita wrote a 50th Anniversary Poem for her in-laws, in 1952 and her son and daughter-in-law, in 2005. Juanita and her identical twin sister, Coleta were in demand most of their lives to sing a duet and on August 26, 2006 they joined together with Bill Bryant on the ukulele to sing "Moonlight and Roses" one last time. In recent years Juanita's most fond time was spent with her family. She also loved to ride the church bus to church and visit friends in nursing homes with her friend, Ruth Jeffries. The two were faithful to visit others and rarely missed a week. Mrs. Scott was preceded in death by her parents, her 1st husband, Ervin Hughes Robinson in 1969, her 2nd husband Ben W. Scott in 1991 and two sisters, Estahlee Lewis and Vera June Sparks. Juanita is survived by: her son and daughter-in-law, Ben and Marcia Robinson of Muskogee; granddaughter, Chanda Lyn Robinson of Norman; grandson, Bret Harton Robinson and his wife, Kim and their three daughters, Emily, Kaley and Molly all of Wichita, Kansas; three sisters, Coleta Bryant of Tulsa, Mary Gene Outcalt of Granbury, Texas and Joy Carole Davis of Austin, Texas, and a host of nieces and nephews in Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Louisiana and Missouri.
