Reta Gee Obituary

Reta Lou Gee
October 17, 1933 to November 18, 2010

Born in Wenatchee, WA to Robert and Edwina Kerr. Married to Bruce Gee 1952; they had four children: Richard, Randy, Becky, and Ron. They lived in Renton, WA until 1963, when they moved to Twin Falls, ID. Reta's passion was being with her children, always involved in their school, sports, and enjoying times in the parks. Her children's smiles, and lack of fear those she said were her golden years. Reta encountered many friendships working for the state in Twin Falls. She moved to Des Moines, WA in the early Eighties, where she and her sons operated a limousine service. Reta retired to Shelton, WA, where she became active in the Elks volunteering her time baking her wonderful breads, cakes, and rolls to help raise money for charity. Everyone called her Mom or Grandma. Her love for her family, and close friendships will be greatly missed. Reta was preceded in death by her parents, daughter Becky, and brothers Frank and Jimmy. Survivors include children Richard (Billie) Gee, Tacoma, WA, Randy Gee, Lacey, WA, Ron Gee, Sumner, WA; grandchildren Misty, Randy, Chase, Alysha, Erin, Kassidy, and Levi; great-grandchildren Randalee, Kcee, Cheilynn, and Alayla; sisters Linda, Judy, and Susan, and brother Bob.
