Carolyn Sue Reardon

Carolyn Sue “Edens” Reardon, gracefully returned to her heavenly home on August 29, 2026.

She was born on October 20, 1941, to Omer “Tobe” Edens and Lois Edens, maiden name Standefer.

Carolyn began her life as a beautician before meeting her husband, Victor “Vic” Reardon. She was the heart of her home—warm, gentle, and devoted to the people she loved.

Carolyn was a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

She is survived by her daughter, Vicki Bass of Diamond, Missouri; grandsons Joshua Bass and his fiancée, Shiloh, and Zackary Bass and his wife, Katie; and her great-grandchildren, Trenton Bass and Makenzie Bass; Weston Metcalf and Harley Bass. She is also survived by Linda and Steve Milburn of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Nancy Spiva of Webb City, Missouri.

She was preceded in death by her parents and sister, Virginia Ann Barclay.

Carolyn will be lovingly remembered for her gentle spirit and the warmth she brought to those around her. She loved traveling in her fifth wheel, exploring and enjoying the beauty of places across the United States. She cherished spending time with those she loved, enjoyed baking, and was an avid reader. She also had a special love for roses, whose beauty and grace seem fitting for a woman remembered with such tenderness.

Carolyn leaves behind the love she gave so freely and the memories she created with the people who meant the most to her.

A celebration of her beautiful and radiant life will be held on September 3, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at Diamond Cemetery.
