Evelyn “Loraine” Reece, 82, of Christiansburg passed away Friday, March 27, 2026. She was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, Earl Reece; brothers, Larry Burnette, Ronnie Burnette, Donnie Burnette; sister, Mildred “Millie” Goad; and brother-in-law, Harry Showers.

Goad, Diane Burnette, Faye Showers; sister and brother-in-law, Gelia and Nelson Phillips; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Loraine was a devoted wife, a loving mother, a cherished grandmother, and a proud great-grandmother whose life was defined by the love she gave so freely. She had a remarkable gift for making everyone around her feel seen, celebrated, and deeply cared for.
Known for her sassy spirit and quick wit, she brought laughter wherever she went. Her stories-told like no one else could-were filled with humor, warmth, and just the right touch of mischief, leaving lasting impressions on all who were lucky enough to listen.
Her legacy lives on in the countless memories she created, the laughter she inspired, and the love she poured into generations of family and friends. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
