William Moore Reedy
March 18, 1947 - December 04, 2020
William (Billy, Bill)) Moore Reedy was born in McComb, MS on March 18, 1947, to Jerome and Janie Reedy. He died at his home on December 4, 2020, exactly where he wanted to be. Except he’d probably rather have been in his chair than his bed.
Visitation will be Sunday afternoon from 1:30 until 2:00 Services at the Felder's Campground Tabernacle in Summit, MS. The Rev. Glen Martin and Rev. JR McBeth will officiate and burial follows in the Felder Cemetery.
He was raised in the Friendship Community, where he was able to walk to school and was required to work on the dairy farm and in the garden. He was a graduate of North Pike High School and served in the National Guard. He was affiliated with Felder’s Campground and caused some mischief there during his teen years, but all in good fun.
He made his adult home in Friendship with his first wife, Jeanette Pine, and his daughter, Kristi. He may have wanted a boy because he always caused her Rusty Butt and took her with him to feed cows. Sometimes, she failed to stay on the wagon and instead fell off with the bails of hay. He met Proby Smith, who taught him the skill to be a meat cutter, which served him well throughout his career at A&P, Jitney Jungle, and Winn Dixie. He retired from Winn Dixie in Franklinton in 2014.
He later remarried Judy Thornton and had a son, William (Will) Moore Reedy II, finally. Both he and his father Jerome were proud the Reedy name would live on. During this time, he was also involved in the raising of two stepchildren, Jonathan Duke Carraway and Jeremy Lane Carraway.
Billy was a hard worker, always picking up side jobs or helping someone with something. Those assists were generally not without some choice words or arguing with his helpers. But when he figured out the problem, the look on his face was pure joy. He never liked to leave a problem unsolved. Sometimes, he would come back and try again days later after he had figured it out in his mind.
While working at Winn Dixie, he met his final love Kathy Morton, whom he married on June 11, 1999. She was the only woman not related to him that could put up with him for more than 13 years. The back and forth bickering were considerable, each loving to give the other a hard time, but the love was always there, and it was never in anger. They shared a love for animals that filled up their home. He cared deeply for his horses. He and Kathy opened their door to anyone who needed help and therefore many called their place home. Their family grew exponentially, not in blood but in people who loved them.
Billy and Kathy were the first at the hospital to meet their grandchildren when they were born. He loved them dearly. Billy was always trying to teach somebody something.
He is survived by his wife Kathy, his daughter Kristi Plotner, son in law Ryan, son Will Reedy, and his grandchildren, Reagan Plotner, Reed Plotner, Gavin Reedy & Brantley Reedy, as well as his sister Jerolyn Price and brother-in-law Dan. He is survived by his stepson Chad Bush, his wife Chrissy and their children Heather Dickerson, Skylar & Matthew Bush, and great-granddaughter Makeinze Dickerson. He had many friends and extended family who loved him.
