Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

My deepest condolences to the family. May God continue to strengthen you in the days and years to come.

Ellen Jenkins & Family

My condolences to the Reasor family. Mrs. Reasor was one of my instructors at Trenholm Tech in the 70s. She was such a proper lady. Proper etiquette and mannerisms were very important to her. I have never forgotten what I learned from her because she taught us to be ladies as well. After graduating from Trenholm, I went on and completed two college degrees, and she was at my graduations. She continuously encouraged me to move higher. She was very instrumental in my starting my first job here in Montgomery and I followed in her footsteps as a teacher at Trenholm later upon her recommendation. I became almost like her clone. I absolutely loved her. She has crossed my mind many times, and I have often wondered what she was doing. Family, I pray that God will continue to care for you and keep you tucked deeply within his arms. Commie Carter, Trenholm Class of 1976.

Mrs Reasor was such a sweet sweet lady. She and her husband often stopped by my office to visit. Mr Reasor taught me at Hayneville Rd Junior High. As most of my former teachers, he would always speak of the pride they had in the work I was doing. My prayers are with the Reasor family.

Mrs.Reasor was our typing teacher at Booker T.Washington High School in the 50s and 60s. What a good, firm, fair, dedicated and friendly educator! She also sat behind us at masses at Saint Jude Catholic Church constantly. She was a very religious person. She will be missed by ALL! We will keep all of you in our prayers(Joan,Joseph and Jonathan). May God carry all of you through the trying times! Dorothy Scott Nichols, Susie Scott Jones(deceased) and Kathaleen Scott Anderson.
