Mary Janice Reams

Mary Janice Reams, 64, formerly of Lee, Florida, passed away peacefully on April 15, 2013 at Heritage Healthcare after a lengthy illness. Mary was born on June 6, 1948 in Miami, Florida to the late Ila Clinton and Zora Edgman Jones. The family moved to Lee, Florida when Mary was a teenager and she continued to live there most of her adult life.

Mary proudly served as a Duty Officer with the Florida Highway Patrol for 19 ½ years before retiring due to medical problems. She was a huge animal lover and had many pets throughout her life, often taking in strays. She also enjoyed spending time with family, cooking and was very patriotic.

She is survived by a daughter and son-in-law, Lee Ann and Jon Lasseter of Valdosta, GA.; a brother and sister-in-law, David and Louise Jones of Live Oak, FL.; two grandsons, Matthew Lasseter of Valdosta and Jonathan Lasseter II of Arlington, VA.; a granddaughter, Hannah Lasseter of Guyton, GA.; seven nieces and one nephew and a number of great-nieces and great-nephews. She is also survived by many special cousins and extended family and friends.
