Mrs. Naomi Turner Reeves, age 95, of Cullman, AL, passed from this life to her heavenly home on Sunday, Sept. 29, 2019 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Mobley, Sr. She left this life in a loving and peaceful environment, knowing she was loved by relatives and friends. Mrs. Reeves prepared long ago for this day by placing her faith in Jesus Christ as her Savior. Her spiritual gift was hospitality and she used it faithfully. There was always laughter in her home, and when one entered, she always put you at ease and one felt at home. She cooked for many, including hobos hopping trains, friends, and family. She hosted many pastors and their families, evangelists, and preachers who came through her door. One was always welcome in her home and no one left hungry.
