ENID, Okla. - MEDFORD - On Tuesday, Jan. 29, 2013, Marinelle Lynn Boyer Reese passed away at her mother's home, with her family by her side after a yearlong battle with leukemia.
Marinelle was born Nov. 22, 1953, in Fort Ord, Calif., to Adeline and J.T. Boyer, while her father was in the Army. She has a younger sister, Tanya Flauding of Blackwell.
She spent her childhood in California, Germany, France, Fort Riley, Kansas, Fort Lewis, Washington and Medford. She graduated from Medford High School in 1971, and then attended Northwestern Oklahoma State University.
She married David W. Reese July 5, 1974, in Las Vegas. The couple moved to Watertown, N.Y., David�s home town, to raise their family. They welcomed their first son, Ryan David, on Feb. 1, 1979, and another son, Matthew Edward, on Oct. 7, 1980.
Upon hearing the news of her death, her ex-husband, David, shared that she was the kindest person and best mother he has ever seen.
Marinelle worked as a travel agent for AAA in Watertown, N.Y., and loved to travel. Most of all, she loved her boys.
She moved to Kernesrville, N.C., to live with her son Matthew and his wife Kim upon the birth of her first grandchild, Samantha.
They later moved to East Sandwich, Mass., where she was treated for her leukemia. While there, Marinelle lost her son Matthew, unexpectedly Aug. 22, 2012.
She also was preceded in death by her father, J.T. Boyer, in 1977.
She moved back to Medford in November 2012, to recover with her family. However, the cancer came back aggressively, and she decided she did not want to go through chemo again. She told us she was ready to go and wanted to be with her family in heaven.
She is survived by her mother, Adeline Petrik Boyer and Ted Moore of Medford; her son, Ryan D. Reese and wife Heather and their son, Emerson of Eugene, Ore.; her daughter-in-law, Kim Reese and granddaughter Samantha of Loweville, N.Y.; and her sister, Tanya Flauding and husband Richard of Blackwell; their daughter, Bridget Flauding Bryan and husband James of Tulsa; and many other beloved aunts and uncles.
Marinelle was a wonderful, loving woman who touched so many lives. She loved to cook, travel and take care of others, especially her boys. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
She requested there be no service held for her. If anyone would like to call on her mother, Adeline Boyer, at 309 S. 7th St. in Medford, your love and support would be deeply appreciated.
