After her time there, she worked as an Accounting Clerk and Proof Operator for Citizens Bank in Flint until she retired. Mother Reece was baptized at an early age. She joined First Trinity Baptist Church-Flint under the leadership of Rev. F. O. Hockenhull.

She was an excellent cook and enjoyed preparing meals and spending time with family and friends. Cooking for others always brought her loads of happiness. In retirement, she enjoyed playing bid whist, bowling, crossword and jigsaw puzzles, and challenging her grandchildren to Wii games. She lovingly called it "giving them a whipping."
