Anna Marie Reeves

Anna Marie Reeves, 90, passed away peacefully on April 13, 2013 at her home in Selah surrounded by loved ones. Anna was born in Marquand, Missouri to John and Mae Pavlick. She was raised in Missouri before moving to the Yakima Valley in her early 20's to work in the orchards. Anna also ran a cafe in Moxee before moving near Shelton, WA. She also helped to run a cafe and boat launch on Mt. Hood Canal as well as working in a Chinese restaurant. She moved back to the Yakima Valley in 1976 and worked in a fruit warehouse when she met and married Ed Reeves (the love of her life) in 1979, and became a devoted homemaker for the rest of her life.
Hunting, fishing and camping were her favorite pastimes. She loved going to O'Sullivan and could out fish just about anyone. She enjoyed cooking and baking for her family and friends, helping many of them to gain a few extra pounds, especially at Christmas time. Anna really loved Friday dinners and game nights with family. She was a member of Central Assembly of God Church in Yakima.
She is survived by her husband and love of her life, Ed Reeves, sons; Bob (Mary) Barber of Kennewick, Ken Reeves, Rick (Lori) Reeves both of Yakima, Brent (Stephanie) Reeves of East Selah and daughter Bonita (Tommy) Pugh of Eldorado, Arkansas; grandchildren Ronald, Pamela, Robert and Dennis Barber, Laurie Rodenburg, Eddie, Brad, Sterling, Blake, and Brianna Reeves; eighteen great grandchildren; and nineteen great-great grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents John and Mae Pavlick; and sisters; Clara McWilliams and Betty Joe Pavlick and brother Junior Pavlick.
