Mary Elizabeth Reep

Mary Elizabeth Reep, beloved grandmother, mother, and friend, passed away peacefully on October 11, 2024 surrounded by her family. Born on October 24, 1943, in Catoosa, Georgia, she was the daughter of John and Mildred Campbell and grew up surrounded by love, laughter and a devotion to Christ.

Mary was known for her quick wit and fiery personality, always ready to offer a meal or a hug to her grandchildren. As a member of The Rock Church for over 50 years it was her strong faith and steadfast prayer life that is her legacy. She dedicated her life to her family showing unwavering strength and resourcefulness raising her three young children after the untimely passing of her husband Kenneth. While she held many roles as a professional it was her job as a crossing guard for the City of Belmont that brought her a sense of pride and joy.

In addition to her parents, Mary was preceded in death by her brother, John Campbell.

As a mother and grandmother, she was a source of unconditional love and support for her family. She is survived by her children, Garry Reep and (wife Rhonda), Jeanna Martin, Deborah Reep Thompson; grandchildren, Jessica Al-Shukoor (husband Haiden), Erika Martin, Brooke Richardson (husband Wyatt), Meredith Carpenter (husband Michael), Amber Adkins, and Blake Martin; great-grandchildren, Ashlyn Russell, Michaela Adkins-Parker, Jamie Martin, Michael Adkins-Parker, Wyatt Richardson III, Selena Martin, Logan Richardson, Bryson Carpenter, and Oliver Al-Shukoor who will cherish her memory and the countless lessons she imparted; and sisters, Linda Campbell and Faye Dake.
