Mrs. Ranessa Kay Wells

Mrs. Ranessa Kay Wells, age 48, of Kingston, Georgia, passed away on Monday, February 23, 2026, surrounded by her loving family at a local hospital.

Mrs. Wells was born in Rome, Georgia, on November 17, 1977, to the late Lewis Barker and Joann Hazel Abernathy Edwards. Mrs. Wells was a special lady who could always be found with a smile on her face and an encouraging word being given to others. She was a graduate of Model HIgh School. Her exceptional wit for the books led her to a career with taxes and finance. Ranessa spent 15 years at Shaw Industries and then over 10 years with Floyd County in the Tax Assessor's Office. When she was giving her brain a break from numbers and forms, you'd find her enjoying time with her Yorkies, shopping with her family, and making memories with her grandchildren. Her family was what she treasured most. When Ranessa wanted to have a getaway, she would head to the beach, where she loved to sit by the water. She was of the Baptist faith and previously attended Old Way Baptist Church. 

Survivors include her husband, Jason Wells; her mother and stepfather, Joann and Jeffrey Edwards; one daughter, Kelsey White (Cutter Harris); two sons, Sebastian Barker and Thomas White; five grandchildren, Branton Barker, Peydon Farmer, Hayden Farmer, Rayleigh Harris, Brinzlynn Harris; two sisters, Rhonda Barker and Cindy Barker.

Funeral Services will be held on Friday, February 27, 2026, at 2PM from the Chapel of Reynolds Funeral Home with Reverend George Gray officiating. Interment will follow at her Homeplace, 61 Jones Road, Kingston, Georgia, 30145. Gentlemen serving as pallbearers include Cutter Harris, Sebastian Barker, Thomas White, Jeffrey Edwards, and Cody Smith. Pallbearers are asked to assemble at 1:30 on Friday.

The family will receive friends on Friday, February 27, 2025, from 12 until 2PM at Reynolds Funeral Home, 5865 New Calhoun Hwy., Rome, Georgia, 30161.
