Anzia Ayree Keith Juge

In loving memory of Anzia Ayree Keith Juge, an adoring wife, mother and grandmother, who entered into eternal rest on May 21, 2023 at the age of 80.

She was survived, at that time, by her beloved husband of 55 years, Alcee-Randall John Juge; her son Clinton Juge (Julia); daughter Allison Anjier (John); grandchildren Jeb & Randy Juge, Christopher, Clayton & Ella Blossman; sister, Tanya Keith Smith (Michael); brother Terry Keith (Janet); and many other family and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Billy Keith.

Anzia was born to William Henry Keith and Christine Milton Keith in Pritchard, Alabama on September 27, 1942. She attended Geneva High School and then the Columbus School of Practical Nursing where she earned her degree as a Registered Nurse. She met the love of her life when he was in training at Ft. Rucker in Alabama and they married on April 28, 1968. Their daughter was born while he was on tour in Vietnam, and their son Clinton was born when he was stationed in Texas in 1972. They relocated to Louisiana, where they lived for over 50 years. She led a strong, faith-filled life devoted to her family. She enjoyed traveling, music, scriptures, caring for others, children, and the sight of a red bird. Her life changed with early onset dementia, but she had a great smile and gleam in her eyes, bestowing great affection to those in her presence.

The family is grateful for the compassionate care she received from everyone with Passages Hospice and The Trace (Covington, LA) in her final months. Funeral services were held privately in October of 2023.
