Jean Marie Reece

I worked with Jean at Kopke’s during the wonderful years of the “basket ladies”, Lorraine Kopke, Arlene Spink and Jean created beautiful baskets. Jean and I shared two passions gardening and dogs. I still have something she made for me on my wall. I wish we hadn’t lost touch when she moved to Richland Center. Gail Aaroen

Dear Friend, We planted flowers and shared recipes. We cried over critters and planted trees. Your absence . . . Has brought . . . Me to my knees . . . Which, is just the place to be! For me to plant, for all of us, More flowers and more trees! Composed 2024, Christmas Eve. Mary Burbach

Will always cherish my memories with Jean, a wonderfully loving & joyful person who could light up a room. May she rest in Peace in her Father’s arms.

Jean was an awesome friend ❤️. We met Jean & John in NAVHDA. We ended up good friends & spent many days together at our cottage in Crivitz. Many good bird hunts with them. She also was a great artist. She made all of those painting for us that hang now in our retirement home in Crivitz. I will miss her dearly! But now John, Tom & her can all hunt together again in heaven 👼🏻

In memory of our friendship with Jean when we all lived in the Oregon neighborhood. So many fun times playing softball and at "the pond." Loved her
