March 18, 2019
Joan Raquel Reece-Lloyd, also known as “Joanie,” 41, Clinton, passed away suddenly Monday, March 18, 2019, at her home in Clinton.
There are no words that can describe the loss of a 41-year relationship with this wonderfully generous, sometimes crazy, always fun, caring enthusiastic woman. She made friends everywhere she went; she left clothes at someone's house in at least 37 states. She was zesty, saucy and full of spit-fire, vinegar and honey. She had a song for every moment and she never sang them softly. She'd fight you but she'd also fight for you, no literally it’s true. She was ride or die before it was a cliché. She was a best friend to all. May God rest her soul and we hope she was met by her dad in heaven, which would make this loss a little more bearable. We love you, Joan Raquel always and Forever. She shined her love and light to all who were around her, and was loved by many.
Joan was proceeded in death by: Father, Johnny Ray Reece; husband, Benny Joe Lloyd; and aunt, Lynda Mosley.
Joan is survived by: Mother, Mary Harmon of Clinton; daughter, Mollie Emily Jolene of Oliver Springs; siblings, Susan Reece Wilkinson and husband Todd of Pensacola, Fla., David Reece and wife Christy of Powell, and Danny Harmon and wife Sara of Karns; best friend, Wanda White of Clinton; niece, Macy Womack; nephews, Logan Womack, John Reece Jr., Jackson Reece, Ryker Harmon; and a host of other relatives and friends.
Joan’s family received her friends from 6 – 8 p.m. Friday March 22, 2019, in the chapel of Jones Mortuary.
Her grave side service was at Circle Cemetery in Briceville at 1 p.m. Saturday March 23, 2019.
