Juanita Rose Menne, 77, of Troy, Missouri, passed away on Sunday, August 30, 2015 at her residence surrounded by her family. She was born on February 15, 1938 in Creve Coeur, Missouri, a daughter of the late Seth and Helena (Brush) Fields. Juanita graduated from Wentzville High School in 1956. She married the love of her life, Joe Menne in 1957 at the St. Paul Catholic Church and to this union seven sons were born. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend to many. Juanita was a homemaker and was always busy taking care of her husband and children’s needs. Juanita would meet regularly with a group of ladies to quilt at the St. Mary’s Catholic Church. Although she taught her children and grandchildren to fish and enjoyed family fishing trips to Honeywell and the Family Farm, Juanita somehow managed to never clean a fish. She had a green thumb and her vegetable gardens were successful enough to raise her family. Juanita also grew a variety of beautiful flowers of which she was very knowledgeable. She had a passion for sewing, creating several costumes and dresses over the years. As busy as Juanita was, she always put her family first and loved them unconditionally. She is survived by her seven sons, Kevin Menne and wife Vicky of Troy, Dale Menne and wife Sandy of O’Fallon, Terry Menne and wife Loretta of Troy, Mike Menne and wife Michele of Troy, BJ Menne and wife Janey of Davis, Frank Menne and wife Cassandra of Australia and Chris Menne and wife Kat of Wentzville; two brothers, Jack Fields of St. Paul and Jerry Fields and wife Virginia of Fulton, MO; one sister-in-law, Martha Fields of St. Paul; 21 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and many friends.
