Phyllis A. Reiman

Phyllis Ann ReimanWenatchee, WA Phyllis Ann Reiman slipped quietlyfrom the loving arms of her familyinto the loving arms of God on May 4, 2011. Phyllis was born in Bradenton, FL on September 30, 1959, to Johnand Shirley Collins. As a little girl, shemoved with her family to Cashmere,WA, where they lived a short time, later moving to Wenatchee, where she attended Whitman Elementary, Orchard Junior High and Wenatchee High School. She married the love of her life, Ron Reiman on August 10, 1979. They had two sons, Ron Jr. and Jason. Home and family is what kept the sparkle in her eyes and the smile that was ever present. She had a deep love for all children and animals. She was forever saying to her family that if the animal had no tag and was loose, “it didn’t have a home, it just followed me.” When you became her friend, you received a loving gift of kindness and caring. She saw good in all and turned no one away. Her battle with many complications from diabetes only proved what we always knew and that was her amazing strength. That strength is admired by her family and friends. Her 31 year marriage and her two sons kept her strong. Phyllis is survived by her husband, Ron; sons, Ron Jr. and Jason, both of Wenatchee; a sister, Debbie (Jim) Barnett of Wenatchee; a brother, John (Cheri) Collins of Dallas, OR; nieces, Julie and Jill Collins, both of Wenatchee and Jolene and Chenia Collins, both of Dallas, OR; three great-nephews; two great-nieces; and several aunts and uncles residing in Florida and Ohio. She was preceded in death by both sets of grandparents; her parents, John and Shirley Collins; nephew, Jeffrey Collins; an infant daughter; and her beloved dog, Emitt.Phyllis only makes God’s Kingdom more beautiful, as she rests, free from pain. As God whispered to her, he received one of his very best. Heaven sparkles a little brighter. Her love will stay with us always. She will be forever missed. She would not want us to cry because she is gone, but to smile and rejoice because she was here. And Phyllis would say to us, “Do not look any longer for her here, she’s gone home.” A Service will be held Friday, May 6, 2011, at 11:00 a.m. at the Jones & Jones~Betts Funeral Chapel, 302 Ninth Street, Wenatchee, WA.
