Carol Jean Reese

August 3, 1950 — February 27, 2025

Elk Grove

Carol was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend whose love and generosity touched everyone she met. She had an incredible ability to connect with people, always ready to share a conversation, a laugh, or a helping hand. She was the heart of her family—the glue that held them together.

She is survived by her loving husband, Jim Reese; her children, Christopher Hughes of Sacramento and Shane Reese of Chicago; and her five cherished grandchildren, Natalie, Brooklynn, Sierra, Noah, and Ari. She was preceded in death by her youngest child, Ryan Reese, whom she now joins in eternal peace.

Carol had a deep love for plants, decorating, shopping, and—above all—her family. Being a mother and grandmother was her greatest joy, and she never missed an opportunity to spoil her grandchildren. She also had a special place in her heart for horses and found happiness in simple moments spent nurturing and caring for others. Her giving spirit knew no bounds—she always put the happiness of others before her own.

Her warmth, kindness, and unwavering love will be dearly missed but will live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.
