Carolyn Jean Jones Reeves was born in Houston, Texas, on Nov. 8, 1946 and went home to be with the Lord on Nov. 5, 2026 at the age of 79 years, 11 months, and 5 days.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Albert Jones and Amy Jackson Jones; husband of 38 years, Robert Phillip Reeves Jr. She is survived by her beloved son, Robert Phillip Reeves III; beloved granddaughters, Isabella and Agnes Reeves.
Carolyn worked in the office at the K Corporation for many years. Mr. Katz was her boss and they had a friendship that lasted far beyond retirement. An occasional lunch and catching up lasted for years. Carolyn went to work for the Central Appraisal Office in Cleveland, Texas, until her final retirement. The next work was at Rural Shade Baptist Church where she kept the kitchen supplied with groceries.
There were many trips to Sam’s and Wal-Mart with her car overflowing. She took this job just as serious as paid work, even though it was voluntary. She will be missed running around the church and making sure that anything needed wasn’t forgotten. Carolyn could be a little on the bossy side, but you knew she just wanted things to be done right. For fun she loved to go on a cruise with friends. If she Wasn’t on a cruise, she was planning one, never neglecting her work at the church.
Farewell to our friend and fellow Christian, we will see you on the other side. Visitation is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 12, 2026, at the Rural Shade Baptist Church from 1-2 p.m. Funeral Service will begin at 2 p.m. with Bro. Byron Reeves officiating. Burial will follow in the Ryan Cemetery. Pallbearers for the service will be, Archie Guillory, Charlie Rice, Rod Boykin, J. Rice, Doug Barr, and David Holt.
