Mrs. Reeder, 53 years old, died at Vanderbilt University Medical Center on Friday, November 29, 2025. She graduated from McKenzie High School and the Tennessee Technology Center and was a phlebotomist for 33 years. She worked at McKenzie Medical Center, Christian Family Medicine, Waddell Clinic and Lab Corp. After retiring as a phlebotomist, she worked at Centennial Bank as a bank teller. She was born on January 7, 1972, in Huntingdon to John Gilbert Hicks and Jo-Ellen Woodard Jacobs. One of Missy's talents was helping and taking care of others, whether on a mission trip to another country, caring for one of her patients, or assisting with a client, but above most, she loved her family.
She is survived by her husband of 36 years, Terry Reeder, her children Tyler (Brittany) Reeder and Austin (Keliea) Winstead, her siblings Shannon (Brad) Jones, Shane Melton, Martha Schepman and OC Melton, her mother Jo-Ellen Jacobs and her grandchildren Tariq Robinson, Dawson Reeder, Hudson Reeder, Hunter Winstead, Hannah Winstead, Harper Winstead and Holden Winstead.
