Roxanna Lynn Reese

February 22, 1968 – August 28, 2022

Roxanna Lynn Reese, 54, of Tipton, Indiana, passed away on Sunday, August 28, 2022, at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.

She was born on February 22, 1968, in Noblesville, Indiana.

Mrs. Reese loved being outdoors, and she enjoyed the simple things in life: Fishing off a bank, walking barefoot on a beach, watching a sunrise or sunset, standing under a waterfall or viewing a canopy of fall leaves. She had a compassion for helping others, and her lively spirit and love of music kept her singing and dancing. Mrs. Reese was blessed with a green thumb, and she loved the pleasures of gardening, planting trees and tending to her flowers. She was an avid collector of many things, but bells were her favorite!

Her animals were her pride and joy: her dog, Mr. Wigglez, and her 13 cats: Marblez, Sparklez, Twinklez, Reblez, Starz, Lazer, Tazer, Zeus, Ozzy, Izzy, Ziggy, Gigglez and Ticklez. Mrs. Reese loved being with her family and friends, but her heart was devoted to all the children in her life. She was known for wanting a “proper” hug and never allowing them to leave without telling them how much she loved them.

Survivors include her husband Michael Reese; mother Carolyn Sue Blondiau; daughter Britney (Craig) Needler; two sons Harley Needler and Greg (Erin) Needler, Jr.; first husband Greg Needler; nine grandchildren Harmony, Ellie Mae, Alexis, Alice, Piper Lynn, Oliver, Felix, Fitz and Flex; five siblings Wanda (Dennis) Russ, John Nelson, Christina Merrite, Jarred Uhrick and Jennifer Edwards; mother-in-law Linda (John) Travison; father-in-law David Reese; sister-in-law Elizabeth (Harry) Bender; two brothers-in-law Justin (Rachael) Reese and Jamey (Abbey) Reese; as well as several nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles.

She was preceded in death by her father Robert Arlo Uhrick; step-mother Pamma Uhrick; and step-father Wayne “Bliz” Blondiau, who raised her.
