Mrs. Reeder was related to me and my family on my father’s side, Vernon Barnes of Sheridan Arkansas where they all grew up together. Mrs. Reeder was one of my very first Sunday School teacher’s that I remember at Bethel Baptist Church in Benton where we all lived and grew up together. She was such a truly spirit filled follower of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I remember how deeply knowledgeable she was with God’s word. Her relationship with God was not only seen but felt in a sincere devoted reverence I will never forget. Her service to our King of Kings was one I’ll never forget! My love and prayers go out to the family during their time of loss. Mrs. Reeder is face to face with with her Lord and Savior!!! Makes me smile!
Respectfully, Sheila Barnes Swan, Christopher and Faith Rose.
