LaJuan was a prayer warrior and named after mom due to that fact. LaJuan was single mom living in Jennings, OK with her two sons when the city turned off her water once and she told them "She would own that town" and she almost succeeded in doing so. She married Ralph Dawes in 1964, he adopted her two sons Donald and Ricky. They built together a tank truck service and also ventured into oil wells. Ralph passed in 1978 and LaJuan continued her entrepreneurship and owned one of the first convenient stores and laundry mats in the area. She eventually owned and started a restaurant in the very building where R&D meats is now. She was always a caregiver to her brother and sisters in need and would open her home to them when they were ill. LaJuan was a long-time devoted member of the Jennings Assembly of God Church and was instrumental bringing the Wright family to pastor the Church. She loved her sons and grandchildren and always hosted family events and loved cooking mountains of food for everyone. She was a person that loved to be always surrounded by her family.

The family of LaJuan would like to express their sincere gratitude to the Southern Oaks Care Center, especially her family Tammy Dawes, Bonnie Dawes, Cayley Dawes and Megan Henckel for the great care they gave her.
