Joyce Young Reese, 84, passed away Monday, October 14, 2024, at Sanctuary Hospice House. She was born February 26, 1940 to the late Cordie M. Young and the late Sybol Grissom Young. She was a member of Lighthouse Baptist Church. She was a great cook; her family looked forward to the holidays and her Mandarin Cake and Asparagus Casserole. She was an accomplished seamstress and could take a garment and remake it to fit every need. When her spouse, David, was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, she waited on him and catered to his every need until his death. She truly fulfilled her wedding vows of sickness and in health.
