Juanita May Colvin

May 9, 1945 – June 20, 2022

Juanita moved her family from Las Vegas to Goldfield in the Mid 1970’s.   That was a lucky move for Ben Colvin, the love of her life, as well as the rest of us who knew, loved and admired her.   She served Esmeralda County as Justice of the Peace for 27 years retiring in 2017.  Juanita was known to be a tough but fair judge and that earned her a Lifetime Achievement Award for her work as Justice of the Peace.  She was quick to say that her favorite part of the office was performing weddings.  Juanita was a lifetime member and unfaltering supporter of the Goldfield Historical Society.   Bottle digging and collecting antiques and history were just her thing.  She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother and a true friend to so many of here in Goldfield.   Our hearts are broken for husband, Ben, and all their family.  Our world is a darker place without her.
