Jeanne Reeder

She was a feisty little lady who never met a stranger, always had a story to share, and was a great witness for God. She loved her dogs and spoiled them thoroughly. She was very artistic and loved opera, reading, antiques, history, and archeology. She volunteered at hospitals in New Orleans, Palmetto, and Tuscaloosa where she shared her love of God with everyone who would listen. She brought a loving and peaceful attitude to her 50 years of volunteering.

A special thank you to grandson, Wil Reeder, who took such good care of her the last few years.

She will be greatly missed by all her many friends and relatives.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Ellis Bryan Anderson and Maude Julia Brown, of Memphis, TN; three of her children, James Warren Reeder, Jr., Ellis Dian Kelly, and Claude Bryan Reeder; and her husband of 63 years, James Warren Reeder, Sr.

She leaves behind her son, Charles Wilson Reeder, Sr.; and two loving daughters-in-law, Barbara McClusky Reeder of Tuscaloosa, AL and Debbie Reeder of LaFayette, LA.

She lovingly made her grandchildren all feel special. She leaves behind thirteen grandchildren: Charles Wilson Reeder, Jr., James W. Reeder III (Delores), Laura Reeder Jones (Billy), Andy Reeder, Bryan Reeder (Lea), Eric Reeder, Debbie Reeder Ulrich (Allen), Sarah Reeder Layton (Dan), Reed Schultz (Lori), Wendy Pearson (Nick), Jim Schultz (Connie), Heather Reeder, and Carl Johnson.
