JARALYN GRAVITT Obituary
Jaralyn K.
Gravitt (Reid), Jaralyn K. of Waynesville, moved to her heavenly home on February 23, 2022. Born in 1950 to Jack and Maralyn Reid, Jari attended Fairmont East HS. Jari graduated from Miami Valley School of Nursing in 1972 and worked at MVH as a Psychiatric Nurse until 1994 when she was forced to retire for medical reasons. Her body was ravaged by many, many medical issues, but she never complained. Instead, she lived an exemplary life as she battled health challenges daily. Her bravery and courage were fueled by her faith in Jesus. Jari loved her friends, family, and a peaceful lifestyle.
She is preceded in death by: father, Jack K. Reid, Sr., mother Maralyn M. Reid, brother Ronald L. Reid, and granddaughter Kara M. Gravitt.
Surviving Jari are: husband of 49 years, Jeffrey Gravitt, daughter Andrea Sinclair (Sam), son Justin Gravitt (Kristin), brother Jack K. Reid, Jr. (Sandy) and grandchildren-Elise, Parker, Corinne, Renee, Paiton, and Jared.

Being friends for close to 50 years now I will always remember the Saturday nights we would get together on an almost weekly basis and go bowling, or play euchre and sometimes ping pong when at their house. Jari was not only a sweet, caring and lovable person, but also a competitor. More times than not if I were on the opposite end of the ping pong table I would come out on the losing side. Our prayers continue for the family in this time of both sorrow and joy as she is in Jesus' embrace.
