Elaine Reese

SOUTH PARIS – Elaine Reese, 60, passed away peacefully on March 8, 2021 surrounded by family and friends at her home. She was born on August 16, 1960 in Jersey City, N.J. to William and Marilyn (Benaderet) Jones of Florida. She was a Customer Service Rep for Dead River in South Paris for over 25 years.

Elaine loved and was passionate about her family, dogs (especially Spike), her large extended “friends/family” and her customers. Her house was opened to everyone. She consistently gave whatever she could to others and will always be remembered for her selflessness, kind open heart, laughter, strong convictions and special dance. Elaine was a “mom” to so many in the Oxford Hills area and was someone who always had the best advice.

She enjoyed having visitors, playing games, puzzles, going to the lake and Frank FM.

She is survived by her parents; two sons, TJ Reese and wife Michelle, and Rob Reese; four siblings, Debbie ORourke and her husband Joe, Sheryl VanKuyk and her husband Artie, Roy Jones and Mark Jones; nine nieces and nephews; many cousins, aunts and uncles in New York, Florida and Pennsylvania.

Family and friends may attend a celebration of life visitation on Monday, March 15, from 2-4 p.m. at Chandler Funeral Home and Cremation Service, 45 Main St., South Paris. Online condolences may be shared with the family at http://www.chandlerfunerals.com
