Jeanette (Jaye) Twila Reddy

Jeanette (Jaye) Twila Reddy of Sun City, AZ, formerly of Janesville, WI died peacefully at home

on Thursday, June 5, 2025. Jaye was the fourth child born to Frank and Bernadine Bell on

September 19, 1940. She graduated from Joseph A. Craig Senior High School in 1959. On

December 5, 1959 she married the love of her life, Floyd E. Reddy Jr. They were wed at Cargill

Methodist Church in downtown Janesville. From this union they were blessed with three children

Wade, Gail, and Kyle.

As a child, Jaye survived rheumatic fever after a year of recovery; her tenacity and strong will

overcame personal setbacks throughout her life. Gail’s death at age 22, from cancer, caused

her deep grief that added stress to her already weakened heart. Even so, she will be

remembered for her strength. She cared for her husband and supported her sons in every way.

Jaye and Floyd loved being grandparents and their grandchildren loved her infectious laugh and

vivacious personality. She made friends easily and channeled her competitive side through

bridge and card clubs.

Jaye is survived by her sons Wade (Liz) Reddy, Shawnee, KS, Kyle (Lori) Reddy Janesville, WI,

grandchildren Jessica (Patrick) Lai, Joseph (Raquel) Reddy, Jacob (Emma) Reddy, and two

great grandchildren Trygve and Bjorn. She is preceded in death by her parents, husband,

daughter Gail, sisters Gloria, Grace, and Joyce.
