Reggie was born September 21, 1942, to Charles Reginald Wakefield and Nettie Elizabeth (Howell) Wakefield in Groesbeck. She graduated from Groesbeck High School, Class of 1961, and upon graduation, went to work for Lyle’s Ford Motor Company. She also worked later for Jimmy Hirth at his John Deere dealership, and then worked until her retirement in 1999 at the Limestone County Tax Office. Reggie Nell was united in marriage with Carl Dan Foley on April 3, 1976, and they spent an enjoyable life together until his tragic and untimely death in 2003. Reggie spent endless hours accompanying Carl to rodeos and ropings. She liked to travel, and especially loved their vacations to the Casinos, where she was a “winner.” After Carl’s death, she carried on his memory with the annual ropings held by his friends in his memory. Her companion was her rat terrier Mickey Mouse, and she took pleasure in reading Western novels, visits to the Spa, eating out with friends, and especially enjoyed a cruise with girlfriends two years ago. Reggie was also preceded in death by her parents; two brothers, Windell Wakefield and Glenn Wakefield, and her husband Carl Foley. She is survived by her brother and sister-in-law, John and Linda Wakefield, Sr. of Houston; nephew, John Wakefield, Jr. and wife Kristi of Houston; niece, Debra Bucko and husband Walter of Spring; great nieces and nephews, Adam, Eric, Amy, Dusty, John, Sidney, Ranie, Reis; good friends, Dede and David Elmore and their family, Daryl and wife Rachel Elmore and their son, Blayne Elmore; Sumer Elmore; and many other family and friends.
