A tribute of Juliana’s life may be found at www.andersonbethany.com where you may leave memories and expressions of sympathy for her family. A faithful and devoted member of the Hagerman Catholic Church, Juliana was known for her impeccable style. She loved sewing and making her own clothes. Spending time outdoors and working on the yard while listening to wind chimes, and feeding the birds were some favorite things she particularly enjoyed doing. Cooking was not only something she loved to do, but she had a reputation as one of the best cooks in the area. As a cook at Alto Café back in the 60’s and later at El Gomez Club for many years, she eventually ventured off and had her own Café in Hagerman for several years. Her cooking didn’t end there; she would get the family together for holidays and treat us to her delicious meals that we all loved so much. Juliana adored her family and cherished every moment spent with them. She was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by her family and many friends.
