Juanita Diane “Nita” Kendrick
October 22, 1947 – November 4, 2025 (78 years of age)
Juanita Diane “Nita” Kendrick, 78, of Hilton Head, South Carolina, entered peacefully into the presence of her Lord and Savior on November 4th, 2025 after an 11 year battle with Alzheimers.

Born on October 22, 1947, in Villa Rica, Georgia, Nita was the beloved daughter of Forest and Jewel Camp. She grew up with her two sisters, Jan and Wilda, who both preceded her in death. She enjoyed a childhood shared with love and laughter.

Nita was a devoted wife to her husband, Jan Kendrick of 61 years, and a proud and loving mother to her two sons, Jeff and Kevin Kendrick. Nothing brought her more joy than being “Mimi” to her six grandchildren, who were truly the light of her life. Some of her greatest happiness came from time spent with family — whether gathered around the table, spending holidays together, family time at the lake, or sharing stories of the past.

A woman of deep faith, Nita was known as a strong Christian and faithful prayer warrior. She carried a quiet strength and was the one friends called when they needed someone to pray — and she always did, faithfully and fervently. Her faith was her foundation, her comfort, and her compass throughout life.

Nita’s warmth, kindness, and unconditional love touched everyone who knew her. She loved deeply, was always encouraging, and lived each day with gratitude and grace — reflecting the love of Christ in all that she did.

A service celebrating Nita’s life will be held on November 21, 2025 at Hilton Head Presbyterian Church ( 233 William Hilton Parkway) at 11:00 am followed by a Celebration of Life reception at Moss Creek Country Club. Family and friends are invited to join in remembering a life so beautifully lived and a faith so fully expressed.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, in honor of Nita.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” – 2 Timothy 4:7
