In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, James Reese; and sister-in-law, Dolores Reese. Barbara was a quiet, kind, and gentle soul. The simple pleasures in life brought her much happiness. She was a longtime member of Faith Bible Baptist Church and felt a personal relationship with God, her faith, and Rev. Gary LaPietra. She loved growing plants and flowers, as did her mother. She also enjoyed family gatherings, word puzzles, and relaxing on her front porch swing. Her two cats, Bootsy and Peanut, had a special place in her heart. She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.
