Ms. Reel was a retired educator from the Johnson County School System and a proud former coach of the Johnson Central High School Aqua Eagles Swim Team. Throughout her career, she made a lasting impact on the lives of her students and athletes through her dedication, leadership, and commitment to excellence.
As a reflection of her passion for the sport and the students she served, the family has requested that, in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions be made to the Johnson Central High School Aqua Eagles Swim Team.
In honor of Ms. Reel's service and lasting contributions to Johnson County Schools and the Aqua Eagles program, the flag at the Johnson County Board of Education will fly at half-staff on Sunday, June 14, 2026. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends, former students, and athletes during this difficult time.

In Loving Memory of Jeanie Ferguson
Mrs. Ferguson devoted her career to the students of Johnson County Schools as a librarian at Flat Gap, W.R. Castle, Meade Memorial, and Central Elementary. Through her love of books and reading, she inspired generations of students and helped them discover the joy of learning. Her legacy will live on in the countless lives she touched.
In honor of Mrs. Ferguson's service and lasting impact on our schools and community, the flag at the Johnson County Board of Education will fly at half-staff on Thursday, June 11. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones during this difficult time.
