Kelly Reese

Kelly S. Reese, 63, of Neenah, passed away on October 3, 2026. Born to Richard and Nancy Reese, she was a lifelong resident of the Fox Valley. Kelly loved deeply and always acted in the interest of those closest to her.

She will be remembered for the love she had for her family, as well as the memories and laughter she shared with them. Holiday meals often started a little late, but that simply meant more time together. While waiting for dinner, family gatherings could turn into impromptu dance parties, creating memories that would last a lifetime. Another family favorite was her attempt at making an apple crisp. What was supposed to be an apple crisp didn’t quite turn out as the recipe intended, and the result affectionately became known as her famous “apple runny”—a family joke that brought laughter for years to come.

Kelly loved Mexico and any opportunity to soak up the sunshine. She always made sure her hair and makeup were done, taking pride in looking her best. She also found joy in gardening, especially flowers, and appreciating the beauty in the world around her.

Kelly is survived by her sons, Jordan (Emily), Ian (Anastasia), and Liam (Morgan); her grandchildren, Beckett and Violet; and her siblings, Kathy (Rick), Tim (Barb), and Rick.

She was preceded in death by her siblings, Linda, Pam, Gina, and Mary.

Kelly will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
