Mrs. Dockery was born on December 6, 1930, to the late Thurmond and Martha Nance Steele, and was raised in the Poplar Springs community, attending Elkin City Schools. In 1947, she married Gilmer Monroe Dockery. Mrs. Dockery devoted herself to her life alongside Gilmer in Union Cross as a homemaker, working with him & his family on the Dockery farm, raising their children and later, their grandchildren. Juanita adored life in the country and dedicated herself to making their home a happy one, taking pleasure in planting a bountiful vegetable garden, canning, cooking, sewing, knitting, and crocheting. Several of her crochet pieces hang in area churches and adorn the homes of her friends and family. Mrs. Dockery was a seeker of truth, a defender of the down-trodden, a lover of children, and a friend to animals. Juanita tried never to let a friend or neighbor leave her home with an empty hand, head, heart or stomach, and believed that life's greatest gifts were made sweeter only by sharing with others. She valued hard work, quiet strength and above all else, dedication to God and to her family. She was a loving daughter, wife, mother, 'Mama Juanita,' 'Granna Nita,' sister, aunt and friend.
