She doesn’t know how she would be able to live as well as she does without their assistance! Juanita is also hearing impaired. Yet despite the challenges that she faces, she is one of the most positive and pleasant people we have ever met. We could all learn a valua- ble lesson from the way she approaches life. Juanita did tell us she would like to meet others who are deaf/ blind. She would love to find that special kind of friendship. Patron interviews have returned! Juanita Sanchez graciously offered to let us spend some time with her and what a pleasure it was. Juanita was born in Arizona, moved to the Los Angeles area for a few years, returned to Arizona and eventually made her way to Westerville, Ohio. She currently resides at Columbus Colony. Juanita spent her early years helping out in her mother’s Mexican restau- rant in Arizona. She also worked in food service while in Los Angeles. Many years ago, Juanita developed a different type of cataract on both eyes that is more difficult to remove. She had the surgery done and unfortunately, it did not go well and Juanita lost most of her vision. Over the last couple of years, what sight she has is beginning to fade. She will be seeing a specialist at OSU soon and hopes he will be able to help return at least the minimal vision she had. Juanita is the mother of four children. One of her fondest memories is of visiting her one daughter in Louisville, KY where the daughter’s husband was stationed at the time. Juanita loves to read and has three different ways she can listen to her books. Her favorite author is Danielle Steel but she likes many different Introducing: Juanita Sanchez Wester ville Public Librar y The Outreach M a y / J u n e 2 0 1 4N e w s l e t t e r 6 3  Patron Interview  Did You Know?  Summer Reading and Games  Upcoming Events  Staff Picks
