Renee C. Reid, 82, of Faulkton, passed away Wednesday, November 4, 2015, at Avera Dougherty Hospice House in Sioux Falls.
Funeral services were held at 1:30 p.m., Tuesday, November 10, 2015 at the United Church of Faulkton with Pastor Bill Hoffman officiating. Burial followed in the Faulkton Cemetery. A prayer service was held at 7:00 p.m., Monday, November 9, 2015, with visitation one hour prior, all at the church.
Renee was born in Lesterville, SD to Leonard and Olinda (Schoppert) Fischer. She lived on the farm with two sisters until graduating from Parkston High School. She worked in Mitchell until getting married to William ‘Bill’ Reid in 1952. They moved on to Evanston, WY; Yankton, SD; Aberdeen, SD; and in 1965, they landed in Faulkton, SD.
Renee became a single parent at the age of 41, raising six children and working full time at the John Shirk Memorial Home, where she was employed for 50 years! This occupation was a ‘love’ of Renee’s and that was obvious to those she served and cared for.
She stayed busy attending her 13 grandchildren’s sporting and school events over the years, where she was an avid Trojan fan. Renee also enjoyed all kinds of arts and crafts, loved attending country music concerts, and consistently watched NASCAR racing, while being a Jeff Gordon fan. She also loved the Dallas Cowboys and had the opportunity to watch them in the Texas stadium. Her sense of humor was always on the forefront even in her last days. She was a selfless person who didn’t know the meaning of “can’t or won’t” and she handed out compliments endlessly, even to strangers.
Her memory will be cherished by her six children: Linda (John) Hieb of Aberdeen, Lynis (Wanda) Reid of Faulkton, Rod Reid of Spearfish, Tammy (Jeff) McCloud of Cresbard, Teri (Ron) Stanko of Cannon Falls, MN, and Chad (Donna) Reid of Grove Town, GA; 13 grandchildren; 6 great grandchildren; one sister, Iva Kay Nelson of Tucson, AZ; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, William ‘Bill’ Reid; sister, Carole R. Fischer; and nephew, Troy Pond.
In lieu of flowers, the family request memorials.
