Lennis Inez Reams

Lennis Inez Reams, 86, of Russellville, passed away May 4 at Cottage of the Shoals. Lennis was born April 23, 1938, to Eugene and Florence (Hurley) Hacker in Belgreen.

She loved attending church at Grace Covenant Church and loved to sing. She was known as the best biscuit maker around and everyone always wanted one. She had a deep love for animals, including her dogs and her bird. More than anything, she loved her whole family and leaves them many wonderful memories.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Floyd Young; parents, Eugene and Florence (Hurley) Hacker; sisters, Dora Pounders, Lorene King, Eva Yellig, Meathel Franks, Louise Bohannon, Hazel Fierro; and brothers, Cleveland Hacker, Verlon Hacker, Gayleard Hacker and Berlene Hacker.

She leaves to cherish her memory her children, Tom Davis (Jane), Allen Young (Barbara), Loyd Young, Pat Frederick (Larry), Tina Rizzio; 17 grandchildren, a host of great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild and one on the way; siblings, Doris Okerbloom (Ed), Jewell Powell, Juanita Bugge (Mike); and a host of nieces and nephews.

The visitation will be held May 7 from 6-8 p.m. at Spry Memorial Chapel. The funeral will be held May 8 at 1 p.m. at Spry Memorial Chapel with Bro. Matthew Reed officiating the service. Burial will be at Dempsey Cemetery. The pallbearers will be the grandsons.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the nurses and the staff Cottage of the Shoals, Jerry Owens, on second floor at Helen Keller; and to all of the other family and friends who have been by our side through this time.
