Obituary

Ms. Iline R. Trosper, of Dyersburg, passed away on Friday, April 11, 2025 at her home.  She was born in Dyer County on March 29, 1947 to the late Arthur & Emmie Reeves.  During her life, Iline worked in the paint department for the A.O. Smith Co. in Ripley and as an accomplished seamstress for her community.  She had a green thumb that was evident in the flower and vegetable gardens that she and her husband tended.  In her free time, she enjoyed going to Gospel concerts and shows and traveling to the Ozark & Smoky Mountains with family.  She is lovingly remembered for her dedication to and unconditional love for her family.  Among her qualities, first, and foremost, was her Christian faith.  She was a prayer warrior for those she knew and a pillar in her church for over 50 years.  She was a member of Apostolic United Pentecostal Church in Halls, TN.

Iline is survived by her daughter & son-in-law Alicia & Billy R. Burkeen, her brother Rayburn Reeves and wife Veronica and sisters June Malone and husband Wayne, Peggy Reeves, Judy Bryson and Tracy Reeves.  She was deeply loved as "Ninny" or "Nin" by her grandchildren Dustin and wife, Megan Marie Burkeen and Megan Rae Burkeen and her two precious great-grandsons Hunter & Chase Burkeen.  She is preceded in death by her husband, of 54 years, Bobby Trosper, her parents and brothers Billy & Terry Reeves.
