Roena Reasons

Roena L. (Hopkins) Reasons, 75, of Dudley, Missouri, was welcomed into Heaven Sunday, April 2, 2023, at her home with her loving family at her side.

Roena was born Aug. 18, 1947, in Poplar Bluff to Roy and Vela Juanita (Smith) Hopkins. She married Gerald (Lane) Reasons Nov. 27, 1966, in Dudley. Roena was a born again Christian and a long-time member of Palace of Praise in Poplar Bluff, where she served alongside her husband as an Elder.
