Juanita (Richards) Andregg, 87, of Hoxie, Kansas went home to be with
her loving Lord and Savior on Sunday, February 27, 2022. Juanita was
born September 28, 1934, on a farm North of Studley, Kansas to Ben and
Nellie (Rogers) Richards. Juanita was the youngest of three children.
Juanita attended Elementary School in rural Sheridan County and
graduated from Sheridan Community High School in 1952. She married
Jackie “Jack” Lee Andregg in Hoxie, at the Presbyterian Church January
9, 1951. Jack was a music teacher, and they lived in many communities
before moving to Hoxie in 1980 where they continued to live for the rest
of their lives. Juanita and Jack raised their granddaughter, Michelle,
who was like a daughter to them.
After moving to Hoxie, Juanita worked at the Sheridan County
Hospital as a lab and x-ray technician for 28 years. She was a hard
worker and loved her job. When Juanita was not working, she loved to
sew, crochet, cook, garden, and bake, but most of all spend time with
family. Juanita loved to go fishing, hearing Jack sing, especially Ava
Maria, and dancing with Jack. Juanita was somewhat of a prankster, she
loved playing little tricks on people.
Juanita was a member of the Hoxie Christian Church and enjoyed
going to Sunday School. She was a faithful member and attended Church
regularly until her health was not good. She was a true prayer warrior,
as prayer was extremely important in her life. People described Juanita
as kind, and sweet, with lots of love to share. She always had a candy
jar that she would expect you to take a treat from each time you would
visit. She was generous with all she had, and would give anything to
someone she saw or thought needed it more than her.

Carpenter and husband Scott of Plainville; Great-grandchildren, Brianna
Andregg-Mclaughlin and husband Zack of Ellis, Kansas, Alex Carpenter and
