Clydia Reichert Obituary (1938 - 2025)

With a profound sense of sorrow, we bid farewell to Clydia M. Reichert, who was called to eternal rest on June 27, 2025. Born on February 4, 1938, in Gainesville, FL, Clydia was a beacon of light, a pillar of strength, and an embodiment of compassion. As the poet Maya Angelou once said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Clydia indeed made everyone around her feel cherished and valued with her warm, nurturing nature. Clydia's life was marked by her dedication to her family and her profession as a nurse at the State Prison. She gave tirelessly and selflessly, not only to her family but also to those she cared for in her career. She was an exemplar of love and kindness, someone who found her purpose in making a difference in others' lives. In the words of Florence Nightingale, "The most important practical lesson that can be given to nurses is to teach them what to observe." Clydia not only observed but also acted, leaving a lasting impact on all those she encountered. Clydia is survived by her devoted husband, Joseph Reichert; her sons Alan Davis and Michael Davis; her stepsons, Joseph (Tracy) III, David (Sandra) Reichert, and Jonathan (Kelly) Reichert; her brother, sister; nine grandchildren; and ten great-grandchildren. She also leaves behind in-laws, Sandra, Kelly, and Tracy Reichert, along with Robert (Dana) Davis. Clydia was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Chesly and Macie Fowler, and her son, Charles Davis. In the midst of our grief, we take solace in knowing that Clydia's life was filled with love, joy, and service to others. Services are under the care of Milam Funeral and Cremation Services at 311 S. Main Street. We invite everyone who was touched by Clydia's life to share their memories and upload photos on her memorial page.
