Obituary For Juanita "Nita" Marie Povey

Nita Povey, lifelong resident of Grande Prairie, AB, passed away on Saturday, October 15, 2022, at the age of 48 years.

Nita had a lot of close friends throughout her schooling and the various jobs she worked. She was a very kind and honest soul with a pure heart. Nita had a beautiful smile, and you couldn’t help but love her.

She excelled at any craft or hobby. Nita loved to crochet the most, her work was flawless and impeccable.

Nita will be sadly missed by the love of her life for 24 years Dave Povey; mother Diane Sterling; numerous family and friends; furball Pudder (25 lb orange cat); as well as her mag pie Cheeky Bird.

She was predeceased by her grandparents; father Raymond Sterling; as well as father in-law Harold Povey.

As Nita absolutely adored and cherished all animals, memorial donations may be made to Bandaged Paws Animal Rescue Association (12220 104 Ave., Grande Prairie, AB, T8V 8A8).

    My deepest condolences to Dave and Diane and all of Juanita's friends and loved ones. I'm so very sorry. I have known Juanita since we were very young in grade school and she has always been such a sweetheart with a warm and caring personality. Later on in high school we had the rare and comical opportunity to take beauty culture class together. She even conceded to being my partner on several occasions in which she exercised the utmost in patience and sense of humour with my terrible technical skills in giving facials, shampoos, blow drys etc. I think she was so patient with me out of guilt that I had literally 3 times more hair to style when I was her partner. At that time she sported her signature long head of beautiful golden hair that was almost as long as she was tall, so we were almost always the last ones finished. She and I shared a love of animals and I have and always will considered her one of the kindest and sweetest people I have met growing up. She will be greatly missed by anyone who's life she touched and I'm deeply saddened to learn of her passing. My prayers go out for her family and friends to be comforted. She truly is a special lady. Rest In Peace dear Nita, till we meet again in the sweet by and by.

    Heaven wins on this one 😢. I am sending my deepest most heartfelt condolences. Juanita was such a wonderful and precious student in my Kindergarten class and I can still feel her hugs and see her 5-year-old smile with sparkling eyes🥰. It was a delight to have her as a Facebook friend! I feel so fortunate and blessed to have had Juanita in my life for over 4 decades. Huge long heart-to-heart hugs to Diane and David and other family and friends.

    How do we honour such a beautiful heart and a beautiful pure soul. She always saw the good in people. She was a true friend, who had left us too soon. Thinking of high school days and the memories. She was a simple person, a old soul almost. She is missed every day, She was a constant for everyone. She was talented and beautiful in her own way. To Diane/Mom she will never be forgotten. You raised one of the best hearted and beautiful ladies in the world. She will always live on in our hearts. It is just sad that you never had more time with her. Everyone one wants more time and well tomorrow is never always granted so tell someone you love them, everyday. Because you never know when it will be the last one. Don't let the small arguments create big ones fix them as soon as you can. Hug and love on your family and friends that you still have. Tomorrow is never granted. At least now she is with her Grandpas and Grandmas that she loves so dearly. We are all gonna miss you Juanita. You will never be forgotten.
