It is with great sadness that the Reese & Community Volunteer Fire Company announces the passing of Life Member and Auxiliary Member Wilma McKenzie. Wilma was just days shy of her 91st Birthday and the beloved wife of Mr. Bill who passed away last May.

Ms. Wilma and Mr. Bill didn't have children of their own, yet found a family at Reese. We find peace in knowing that they are together again.
