Karen Reddick Obituary

Peaches began her Christian Walk as a member of Old Corinth Baptist Church, Leslie Georgia. She was a 1989 graduate of Americus High School.

She loved her family and enjoyed spending quality time with them. She was a loving mother, protective sister, and a loving grandmother.
