Bunny was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church since 1954 and had over 60 years and many countless hours as a volunteer for the American Red Cross. She married Thomas J. Reder on May 9, 1964, at St. Joseph Catholic Church, and they spent the next 52 years together sharing memories. Bunny then assisted him with Tom Reder Catering Business for 35+ years.
Bunny is survived by her two sons, Thomas (Toni) and Paul (Janet) Reder; grandchildren, Justin, Sara Veronica and Michael Reder; brothers and sisters, John (Jean) Pavlik, Stephen (Janet) Pavlik, Sam (Lynn) Pavlik, Darwin (Cheryl) Pavlik and Joe (Sharon) Pavlik; and many nephews and nieces.

I haven´t been able to see Bunny for many years. Didn´t know that she was in Tawas all this time. Didn´t know her married name and I´ve been away since my parents ( Jim & Babe Campbell) moved to Spring Lake. She was a confidant when I was young. Took her name for confirmation. Loved her much. Feel so bad I couldn´t connect before she passed. Prayers to her family.

After Jean and Buck were married, I often thought of Bunny as another relative. I have fond memories of Bunny and when I last saw her a couple months ago in Bay City, she still was still smiling. Condolences to her two sons and family.
