Johanna Jurado of Wellington passed away Sunday, April 29 as the result of an automobile accident in La Lima, Honduras. She was 51 years old.
Born June 27, 1966 in Queens, N.Y., she was the daughter of Olga and Ernesto Barreiro. She married Ed Jurado on June 21, 1986, and they attended the Pennsylvania State University until moving to Florida in January 1989.
