WARSAW — Mrs. Reba Sanderson Quinn died June 27, 2024 at Arbor Landing in Hampstead. Reba was born at home in Cabin, NC and was a lifelong resident of Warsaw.
She was the daughter of the late Lloyd and Maggie Sanderson and the widow of Milford Quinn, and was also predeceased by son Craig, granddaughter Mary and sister Jessie.
Reba graduated from ECTC (East Carolina Teachers College) and taught school for a short time. Raising her four boys was her life's work. She and Milford were married for 68 years. We have all heard the many accolades of Milford, but many know that Reba was the backbone and the glue to this family. She was a devoted daughter for her mother and father's well-being.
She is survived by her four sons: Terry (Betty) of Wilmington, Craig-deceased (Susan) of Warsaw, Robin of Kenansville and Kim (Michelle) of Topsail Beach. Grandchildren include Townsend (Emily), Cameron (Hollie), Ramsay (Catherine) and Holden; and great-grandchildren, Sallie Grace, Charlotte and Maverick.
Heartfelt gratitude for the comfortable lifestyle care given by her New Estuary Home Care team.
The memorial service to celebrate her life is set for 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 29, in Devotional Gardens, 1260 NC 24 & 50 in Warsaw. Family will greet friends following the service.
Memorial gifts may be made to Warsaw Baptist Church, 209 E. College St., Warsaw, NC 28398 or Duplin County Community Foundation, Attn: Beth Boney Jenkins, 3737 Glenwood Ave., Suite 460, Raleigh, NC 27612.
