Obituary
Jill Jolynn Bailey Reep went to be with her Lord Jesus on January 16, 2019. A time of fellowship and remembrance is scheduled from 4 to 6 p.m. on Sunday, January 20, 2019 at Lake Ridge Chapel and Memorial Designers. A gathering to celebrate her life of 48 years will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, January 21, 2019, at Monterey Church of Christ in Lubbock. The service will be officiated by Donovan Martin. Pallbearers are: Grant Appleton, Michael Bezner, Kullen Burke, Jason Featherston, Tanner Ketchersid, Mark Ramirez, Kyle Stephens, and Chuck Walton. Jill and her family are members of the First Baptist Church in Ropesville.
Jill was born on November 1, 1970 to Joe and Gayle Bailey in Dallas, Texas. She grew up in Woodway, Texas and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. She graduated from Midway High School. Jill married Cody Reep on July 23, 1994 at Faith Baptist Church in Lubbock, Texas. Jill received her teaching degree from Texas Tech University. She was a beloved elementary school teacher and technology director. She touched the lives of every person who entered the doors of her classroom. The majority of her career was spent at Ropes ISD. She was a devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend of the swine-showing industry in Texas and across the United States. While her family and friends are heartbroken, we are confident that she has eternal life. We will see her again in heaven. Until then, she will forever be in our hearts.

It broke my heart to hear about Jill. She was a great friend to me in college! My heart goes out to all who knew her. I know she will be greatly missed. Prayers for the family and community!❤️
Cody, Riley and Randen no words can express my families condolences for you guys. We want all three of you to know she loved you with all her heart. Her looking down on you, seeing the 3 of you carry on as you have this week makes her so proud. She has wrapped angel wings around each of you and will forever but with you each and every step of the way. Thoughts, prayers and peace for each of you in the minutes, days and weeks to come. We love you guys.
I loved seeing that beautiful smile come down the hall when we worked together at Slaton ISD. I was thrilled to reconnect with her on FaceBook and watch her children grow up. Hugging her family with my prayers.
I am so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for peace and comfort for your family in the weeks and months ahead.
Sincerely,

I pray that God is comforting Cody and the family
now and every following day to come. Jill was a fun gal and we know she is in Heaven probably
teaching children or helping at a stock show. Prayers continuing for all praise God.
We love you Danny & Dawn Nivens???
Cody and family,
I know how your heart is grieving right now, but I hope you can find peace in knowing “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted. He saves those whose spirits have been crushed. (Psalm 34:18). I am certain that Jill is eternally happy and at peace. She is probably belly laughing with Shelley right now. I also know that this world is a greater place because Jill impacted it. She left her foot print as well as her heart print here. I pray you find comfort in knowing that God promises us the following in Isaiah 41:10. “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
Our deepest condolences.
Kimberly (Hobgood) and Rocky Boaz

I am so saddened to hear of her passing. My deepest sympathy goes to the family. How we look forward to the resurrection of our dear loved ones mentioned at John 5:28,29. Revelation 21: 4 gives us a beautiful future to look forward to when Jehovah God does away with tears, mourning, pain and death. I hope these scriptures bring some comfort during this time.
