Corene L. Elizabeth Reid
Mrs. Corene L. Elizabeth Reid of Nashville, IL, departed this life at her residence on Thursday, December 15, 2022 at 10:10 A.M. She had attained the age of 83 years and 1 month.
Corene was born on November 15, 1939, at Plum Hill Township, Washington County, Illinois, the daughter of William and Hilda (nee Althoff) Schwengels. She was united in marriage on December 8, 1962, to Fred Reid of Carlyle, IL and they recently enjoyed their 60th anniversary.
Corene was an active member of St. Paul’s United Church of Christ, where she taught Sunday School and sang in the choir. She volunteered at the Irvington Food Pantry, delivered Meals-On-Wheels and was a Washington County Election Judge for over 50 years. She enjoyed playing cards and sharing years of fun and laughter with her card club friends and her “High School Girls.” Corene loved to garden and would share her vegetables with whoever happened to come by. She enjoyed part-time jobs at North Mill Veterinary Clinic, Meyer’s Greenhouse, Flowers Plus, The Flower Shop and driving a school bus. But mostly, Corene loved being a farmer. She began farming with her dad at a very young age and continued throughout her life, driving tractors and trucks and loved it all.
