Anna Lee Reichling

Anna Lee Reichling (nee Nelson) passed away on March 11, 2026, at the age of 91. Anna is survived by her sons, Ronnie (special friend, Sue), Danny, and Timmy (Cindy) all of Belleville, IL and a brother, Harriet Nelson. Anna is preceded in death by a son, Jackie (survived by Anita) Reichling and 2 grandchildren, Sarah and Timmy.

Anna worked many years for the Bell Telephone Company and was the former owner of Reichling's Tavern in Belleville. She was a very high-spirited and opinionated lady who never backed down from difficult situations. From birth her life was never easy but she persevered through all situations and pushed ahead. She even had a few brushes with death, but she just wasn't having it!

She lived a very full life and was highly regarded and respected by her family and friends and she will be celebrated at Valhalla Gaerdner Holten Funeral Home on Friday, April 3 from noon until 2 p.m.
