Betty June Reeves

     Betty June Reeves, age 81, of Ithaca, MI, passed away Tuesday, August 18, 2026, at her home.
     Per Betty’s wishes, cremation has taken place, and no services are to be held at this time.
     Betty was born in North Star, MI on October 26, 1944, the daughter of Frank Burch and Goldie (Wood) Burch. She graduated from Ithaca High School with the class of 1963. She was a Pharmacy Technician at K-Mart for many years before her retirement. She was beloved by coworkers and customers alike.
     Betty lived for her family. She was the kind of person to always show up for everyone: taking them to doctor's appointments, attending sporting events and recitals, or just showing up with some fresh baked cookies and peanut brittle. She was fiercely independent too. No one could ever tell her how to live her life, or how to mow her lawn. She was a spitfire with a heart of gold.
    When she wasn’t spending time with her family, you could often find her at home relaxing on the couch with a cold Coke and a bag of Lay’s chips, watching a good western, true-crime show, or court room tv. It was in those simple, quiet moments that she was most content, comfortable at home, and enjoying the little things.
     Betty was a proud mother and grandmother. She celebrated every achievement they ever made, and was their biggest cheerleader throughout her life.
     She is survived by her daughters: Tonia (Dennis) Kequom and Kendra (Joseph Porter) Hoyt; her grandchildren: Kyle (Emily) Reeves, Brad Reeves, Jessica Brock, Tehya (Jared Allen) Anguiano, Rylee (Zach) Foesz, Hunter Kequom, Caleb Kequom, Andrew Kequom, and Adyn Hoyt; great-grandchildren: Wyatt and Waverly Foesz, and Atlas Allen; her siblings: Sally Martin, Jerry Martin, Daun (David) Longanbach, Don (Sherida) Burch, and Helen Hoard. She is also survived by special family member Robin Reeves; and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents Frank and Goldie Burch; her children: Tim Reeves and Tracy Reeves; and her grandchild Lacey Hoyt.
