Delores Marie Reese

Ahh, Jim, Dee and I had so many memories throughout our lives - all of them precious to me.
Zoe sent me this obituary - I wasn't able to find it on FB. I think we are not friends on FB. Can we remedy that? Diane Erickson

I went from 8th grade through 12th grade with Delores at Ashland High School. At that time we all knew her by her nick name of "Pickey. We had so much fun together and continued our friendship throughout all these years. Jim, I send you my sympathy and thanks for making all the years so happy for my dear friend "Pickey".

Dee was beautiful, inside and out ! She was so talented, made the most beautiful quilts and wall hangings, and most recently, was into making the cutest gnomes that you ever saw! She shared them with her family and some of her friends-I am lucky enough to have one of them! I do not know how to sew, so Dee "helped" me make special teddy bears for my grand-daughters for Christmas this year. I really enjoyed the time that I got to spend with her! She loved all of her children so much, and talked about them often-she was so excited about the upcoming birth of her newest great grand-daughter who would be sharing her middle name, Marie! And, Jim, was such a loving,devoted husband to Dee. Saying that she will be missed is such an understatement. Rest in Peace Dee..........

Mom, your warmth, guidance, and unwavering support have been the pillars of my life. Your laughter filled our home with joy, and your love knew no bounds. While the pain of your absence is overwhelming, I find solace in the countless memories we shared together. Your legacy of strength, kindness, and resilience will forever inspire me. Rest peacefully, Mom, knowing that your love will continue to guide me through life's journey.

I met Laura's mom shortly after Laura and I became friends at Santa Rita high school. She was always so cool calm and collect yet stern during all the shenanigans and mischief Laura and I seemed to create! I always felt at home when at their house. Jim and her just plain put up w me! So sorry to hear of her loss.

My heartfelt condolences to my cousin Jim and all of Dee´s loving family. I am sorry that distance did not allow me to know you better, Dee, but I will always remember your bright and lovely presence at the Reese family reunions where our paths crossed.
