Married Arthur Reel and were blessed with 2 sons and 3 daughters. Her children were her treasures, kept them loved and brought up with a solid foundation of Faith and Jesus in their lives. She believed and practiced forgiveness and acceptance of all. She was the backbone for the family and strength that knew no boundaries. A heart tender and always had the right words for comfort and healing for others.
Viola had a unique sense of humor, a jokester, one might say. Her smile was contagious and her laughter made a sour person smile. She loved to read, especially her Bible, listen to music, Gospel hymns would get those feet tapping. All who knew Viola were blessed and she will be greatly missed.
Family would like to thank Cleburne County Nursing Home and Enhabit Hospice of Anniston for all their love, care and support during Viola’s residency and especially her last weeks. Thank you to all the caring angels, especially Amanda and Allison, we are forever grateful for your kindness and compassion.
