Juanita Davidson Porche

Juanita Davidson Porche, age 97 of Asheboro, NC, passed away on Saturday, September 7, 2024, at Alpine Health and Rehab. 

Juanita was born on September 12, 1926, in Randolph County to Wiley Davidson and Annie Gray. She deeply loved her family and worked alongside them at the Dixie Restaurant, eventually owning her own for a time. Juanita was also the co-owner of the Village Inn, where her love for cooking shone through. Dinner at her home was always a memorable occasion, as she was known for her exceptional cooking and hospitality. A dedicated homemaker, Juanita was meticulous in her care of her home and loved to iron. Despite her age, she remained active and always took care of her grandchildren. She also adored her dogs, ensuring they were fed as well as the rest of the family. Juanita was a lifelong member of West Bend Church and took great pride in her home and family. 

Juanita is predeceased by her husband, Earl “Bubba” Porche; her parents, Wiley Davidson and Annie Gray; her brother, Kenyon Davidson; and her sister, Audrey Shaw. 

She is survived by her sons, Harold Hill Jr. (Debra) of Asheboro, NC, and Michael Hill (Cherie) of Metairie, LA; her grandchildren, Derrick Hill, Amanda Jones, Nicholas Hill, and Heather Hill; along with seven great grandchildren and numerous nephews, and cousins. 

A special thank you to her niece Judy and her husband Brian Freeman for their special attention and care shown to her over the last serval years.
