“Recia Trent, age 93, of CCC Trail, Morehead, Kentucky, passed away Thursday, March 19, 2009, at the Life Care Center in Morehead.
She was born July 26, 1915, in Rowan County, Kentucky, and was the daughter of the late John Harvey and Minnie Sloan Trent. Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by three sisters, Sabra Trent, Rena Trent, and Nola Stigall, and six brothers, Atlee Trent, Ersel Trent, Corbia Trent, Henry Trent, Orbia Trent, and Odie Trent.
Recia is survived by one sister, Goldie Hitch of Elliott County, Kentucky; a sister-in-law, Norma Trent of Morehead, Kentucky; a brother-in-law, Elmo Stigall of Morehead, Kentucky; a host of nieces and nephews; other family; and many friends.
In the early 1940s, Recia moved to Cleveland, Ohio, to work at the Thompson Product Factory. After 31 years, she retired and returned to her family in Rowan County.
Recias zest for living in the country was demonstrated by her everyday activities. She enjoyed all outdoor activities including gardening and working in her yard, which she did until 90 years of age.
Family was very important to Recia as she always had an open door, a loving heart, and a great big smile. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
