On Sunday, May 23rd, 2021, Maurine Funkhouser, passed away at the age of 86. She liked to be called Reen and was a loving grandmother to 8 grandchildren with ages that range from 40 to 11 years old. Their names are Jason, Robert, Mathew, Sarah, Janin, Jessie, Alexander and Kellan. She also had a 3 month old great grandbaby named Delilah. She loved her grandkids to the moon and back, as she used to say.
Reen was born in Crescent, Oklahoma on December 18th, 1934, and graduated High School in the same town. She worked for multiple banks in her life. She moved to Garland, TX in the 80’s to be closer to her daughter Dewanda and that is where she raised her two sons Stan and Tommy Funkhouser.
Reen had a passion for fabrics and sewing, and was an expert quilter. Shopping for fabric and working with it were her favorite hobbies. She possessed hundreths of fabric pieces of all imaginable colors and patterns (except yellow which she disliked very much) and always dreamed about her creations. Reen loved to read and western movies with her favorite actor John Wayne. She had an ongoing reading list and more books home than you can count. Reen was a strong, willed and independent woman that would try to do everything on her own until the very end.
Reen was preceded in death by her daughter Dewanda Jones and survived by her sons Stan and Tommy, and respective families as well as Dewanda’s four children.
Graveside services will be 1:30 PM Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at the Oakland Knowles Cemetery in Crescent.
