Obituary for Laurie J. Reeder (Wolf)
Laurie J. Reeder, age 61 of Waterville, passed away surrounded by family on December 19, 2019 after a long battle with cancer.
She was born in June 1958 to Leman and Phyllis Wolf and grew up in Sauquoit.
Laurie was a dedicated mother and grandmother who constantly put her family first and herself last. She was at every one of her grandchildren’s sports games even in the harshest of weather, always with a smile on her face. Her house was filled with love, laughter, pitch games and a cookie jar filled with treats every Sunday for dinner.
Laurie always loved photography and was always looking at life through the lens of a camera. Some of her favorite things were playing croquet, working on a puzzle with her cat Mort, books, antiques, the woods, and searching for the elusive moose. Laurie worked at the Waterville Public Library for years and patrons were always welcomed with a smile on her face. Her kindness and love was felt by everyone around her.
Laurie is survived by her mother Phyllis Wolf, brother Andy Wolf and wife Lori, sister Nicole Wolf-Smith and husband Paul, her daughter Amanda and husband Bryan Briggs, her son Justin Reeder and wife Amy, and her grandchildren Ella, Teresa, Lincoln, Leah, Liam, Madison and Averie; plus her many nephews, nieces and friends who were as close as family. The love for her family and friends will always be felt in the hearts of those she left behind.
Calling hours will be from 3-5pm Friday, December 27th at the Burgess & Tedesco Funeral Home 210 E. Main St., Waterville with a service to follow at 5pm.
A celebration of life will take place directly after the service in her daughter’s home for close friends and family.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Waterville Public Library for a memorial bench and small garden.
