Obituaries for Thursday, March 11, 2010 Edition Wilma E. Reese 1909-2010 Wilma Elizabeth Reese, 100, Warrenton, peacefully fell asleep in death on Sunday, March 7, 2010, at Warrenton Manor in Warrenton. Mrs. Reese was born on the family farm north of Jonesburg on Dec. 23, 1909, the daughter of Nolan William Broocke and wife Sarah Hawkins, nee Key. On Dec. 22, 1945, she was united in marriage to Marvin August Reese. They were married 50 years. Mrs. Reese worked at Binkley in Warrenton for a short time during World War II and lived in Warrenton when she met Mr. Reese. After their only child, Eldon, was born in 1947, they moved back to the family farm. She raised cattle, pigs, chickens, crops and a big garden along with many flowers and one healthy boy on the farm she loved.

Mrs. Reese was a lifelong member of the Jonesburg Methodist Church in Jonesburg, where she loved the children she taught in Sunday school. She was a member of the Jonesburg Garden Club for many years and faithfully attended the Key family reunion every year. She was preceded in death by her husband, Marvin, who passed away on March 9, 1996, her parents, two sisters, Martha Ellen in 1988, and Mary Ann, as a baby in 1907, and her daughter-in-law, Rosemary in 1986.
