Kenneth E.

Reeder

Kenneth "Ken" E. Reeder, 95, of Southern Pines, NC, and formerly of McConnellsburg, PA, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.

Ken was born on April 5, 1931, in Fulton County, PA, the son of the late James Reeder and Katherine (Divens) Burgner. He was the widow of Margaret J. Reeder, who he married on June 3, 1950. They shared nearly 73 years of marriage before She preceded him in death on April 15, 2023.

Ken took pride in hard work. Over the years, he drove tractor-trailer independently and for PPG Industries, and owned and operated a painting business. He painted homes for local families, as well as churches, the local hospital, the Fulton County Courthouse, and other buildings throughout McConnellsburg and the surrounding communities.

In the 1950s, Ken raced stock cars on dirt tracks across the country, teaming up with brothers Carl and Gerald Peck of McConnellsburg. His competitive spirit later found a home on the golf course.

There was nothing Ken enjoyed more than a round of golf with family and friends, and he was still playing regularly at 95. He was a founding member of Great Cove Golf Course in McConnellsburg, where he played for 55 years. After moving to Southern Pines in 2021, he became a member of Knollwood Fairways and Midland Country Club. He especially treasured the time he spent golfing with his grandsons during those five years.

Kenneth is survived by his daughters, Sharon Reeder of Williamsport, MD, and Kena Foreman and her husband, Tony, of Pinehurst, NC. He is also survived by his granddaughter, Angela Hann of Pittsburgh, PA; his grandsons, Jesse Richards of Pinehurst, NC, and Shane Richards of Southern Pines, NC; and his sister, Dorothea Alloway of Chincoteague Island, VA. In addition to his wife and parents, Kenneth was preceded in death by his brother, Adrian Reeder, and his sister, Henrietta Chamberlin.

Interment will be private at Union Cemetery in McConnellsburg, PA.

Arrangements were made by the Howard L. Sipes Funeral Home Inc., McConnellsburg, PA. Online condolences and memories may be expressed at www.howardlsipes.com.
