Ila “Violet” Reece, 91 of Willis, passed on Monday, December 8, 2025. She was preceded in death by her parents, Lewis McKinley & Lurenda Utah “Toy” Dalton Reece; four brothers; and five sisters.
She is survived by her brother & sister-in-law, Ward & Sandra Reece; special friend, June Staples; and many nieces and nephews.
For 65 years Violet taught Sunday school and shared God’s love with all of the children who came across her path. She also loved to play the piano at church and at home with her family. Violet always had something good to eat and shared her Twist Up drink with her nieces and nephews. Even though she never had children of her own, she loved to spoil every child like they were hers.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, December 11, 2025 in the Maberry Funeral Home Chapel with Pastor Eric Reece officiating. A private interment will follow. The family will receive friends from 10 a.m. until 11 a.m. prior to the service at the funeral home.
The family would like to thank Skyline Nursing Home for
their love and care for Violet over the last few years.
