Junetta C. Lago

Junetta C. Lago, 83, of Bangor, formerly of Rockaway, NJ, died Thursday in Wind Gap, Pa.
She was the wife of the late Alexander Lago who died in 1999.

Personal: A coal miner's daughter, Junetta was born to the late Manuel and Brookie (Bishop) Vasquez into abject poverty at the height of the great depression on the banks of the New River in Nuttleburg, West Virginia; a town which no longer exists.

It was there that she would finish her working career as secretary to some of AT&T's top executives in Parsippany, New Jersey.

A loving daughter, wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, and friend, Junetta always put others before herself. Her family does not know how they will get along without her.
