Fiercely Independent
Nicole Lett, who helped Juanita get out of jail and find lodgings in the motel, said that Juanita had always been “fiercely independent.”
“I just couldn’t let her stay in jail any longer,” Nicole said. “She’s 94 and she’s still feisty as ever… She doesn’t want peoples’ help, she wants to be on her own. But unfortunately, she needs the help right now because she doesn’t have anything anymore.”
