LAURA WRENN REESON 

  REESON, Laura Wrenn, a resident of Surry County, passed away peacefully 
surrounded by her family Sunday, November 27, 2016.  The youngest of nine, 
she was the daughter of the late Lewellyn and Laura Wrenn; and the widow of 
Tom Reeson.  Mrs. Reeson worked several jobs including being a "Rosie the 
Riveter" at the shipyard during World War II, a waitress at the Virginia 
Diner and a hostess at Brandon Plantation, but what brought her the greatest 
joy was her family and just being "mom," "gram" and "great-gram."

  She liked to play piano, which she died so by ear and watch the bluebirds 
that lived in the clothesline post in her back yard.

  Left to cherish her memory are her daughters, Trudy R. Martin and her 
husband, Allen of Powhatan and Deborah R. Millam and husband, Andrew of 
Avenue, Md.; grandchildren, Rebecca "Becky" Daniels, Carrie Gwaltney, Karen 
"K.P." Gobble and Eric E. Marr II; and great-grandchildren, Shannon Daniels, 
Fallon Daniels, Alayne Gwaltney, Megan Gobble and Brody Gobble.

  A funeral service will be held at 12 noon, Wednesday, November 30, 2016, 
at R.W. Baker & Co. Funeral Home and Crematory, Wakefield Chapel, with Mr. 
John Coker officiating.  The family will receive friends from 11 a.m. to 12 
noon, Wednesday, November 30, 2016, at the funeral home.  Burial will follow 
at Union Christian Church cemetery.

  The family would like to thank Donna and Jiggs Gordon and all the staff at
