Harold F. Reheis

Harold Franklin Reheis

Harold F. Reheis, 81, passed away on February 16, 2026, while in hospice care in Vero Beach, Florida and after a lengthy illness. He was with his beloved wife, Diane and sister-in-law, Tammy Adams, during his short stay in hospice.

Born on November 13, 1944, to Lt. Colonel Herman (Rex) Reheis, (USAF, retired) and Mary Maxine Reheis, Harold attended high school at Warner Robins AFB, Ga. and went on to graduate from the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Florida with degrees in Civil-Sanitary Engineering and Environmental Engineering.

Harold met the love of his life, Diane, while he was at Georgia Tech. They married on April 20,1968 and built a life together, enjoying a 58 year marriage living in the Atlanta - Decatur Ga. area. Harold retired in 2020.

Harold and Diane spent their time between homes in Decatur, Ga., Jasper, Ga., and Fort Pierce, Fl., until they moved permanently to Grand Harbor in Vero Beach, FL., where they lived until his passing.

Harold was preceded in death by his parents, his brother, Joseph Reheis and Joe's son, Mike Reheis and granddaughter Gretchen. He is also survived by his sister, Marith Reheis and her children and grandchildren, by his nephew, Jason Reheis, great niece Sarah Reheis, and by his brother-in-law, Patrick Downer, and sisters-in-law, Gerry Gardner, Tammy Adams, and their families.

Harold devoted his professional life to protecting Georgia's natural resources. Over a distinguished career spanning more than 60 years, he served with the U.S. Geological Survey, with Jordan, Jones and Goulding, as Director of the Environmental Protection Division (EPD) of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, and with Joe Tanner & Associates. As Director of EPD, he oversaw programs safeguarding Georgia's air, water, land, public drinking water systems, dams, and waste management.

Harold contributed to many dramatic environmental improvements during his work at EPD. When he started his career, most of Georgia's rivers were grossly polluted and dead in the summers; the air in metropolitan Atlanta had harmful amounts of carbon monoxide and ozone, and garbage was disposed or burned in open dumps throughout the State. There was no regulation of hazardous wastes and there were no permitting requirements for agricultural water withdrawals.

Harold helped establish and implement programs to address these serious issues. He was also instrumental in passing the Georgia Hazardous Site Response Act and creating the programs to remediate over one hundred hazardous sites in Georgia.

Respected for his leadership in shaping and enforcing environmental laws, Harold helped position Georgia as a model for other states. Especially his expertise in water resources management strengthened both the state's environment and its economy.

He was widely acclaimed for his leadership in working with the Governor and General Assembly to maintain "One-Stop" permitting of environmental laws and for diplomatically enforcing them in ways that enabled Georgia to effectively issue permits for companies wanting to move to and grow in the State.

Harold worked closely with Cobb Commission Chair Sam Olens, Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin, and Governor Roy Barnes to create the North Georgia Metro Water District that enabled a single, more efficient regional water planning system.

He was one of the key leaders in defending Georgia against Alabama and Florida in the multi-decade "Water Wars," ultimately winning before the U.S. Supreme Court. Recognizing his many contributions to the management of Georgia's natural resources, he was honored as "Georgian of the Year" by Georgia Trend magazine in 2001.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Harold was an endlessly inquisitive and creative man. Loving the outdoors and spending much time at their cabin in the mountains near Jasper, Ga., Harold was an avid gardener, wood turner and hiker. He found deep joy in nature and remained a passionate advocate for Georgia's environmental future.

Memorial/Celebration of Life services are being planned in his community at Grand Harbor, Vero Beach, Fl.; at A.S. Turner & Sons Funeral Home, 2773 N. Decatur Road, Decatur Ga., at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 14, 2026; followed by a family-only service at the Reheis family plot on his sister's land in Colorado.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Habitat for Humanity International, 285 Peachtree Center Ave., NE, #2700, Atlanta, GA 30303.

Rosalyn Florence Page

Rosalyn Florence Page, beloved mother, sister, aunt and cherished friend, passed away peacefully in Tucker, Georgia, on February 16, 2026, at the age of 82, surrounded by her family and those she held dear.

Born on April 25, 1943, in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, Rosalyn was the first daughter of Joe E. Page and Cora Jane Page. She spent her childhood in Bristow, Oklahoma, and later in Englewood, Colorado, where she developed the curiosity, independence, and love of learning that would shape her life. She earned her bachelor's degree from Colorado State University, an accomplishment she carried with pride.

Rosalyn married Mike Phillips, and together they lovingly raised two children while living in Colorado, Kansas, and ultimately Stone Mountain, Georgia. Whether substitute teaching, cheering at countless ball games and wrestling matches or savoring summer camping, Rosalyn poured her heart into the moment. Her devotion to her children was unwavering, and she nurtured them with the same warmth, humor, and optimism she offered to everyone she met.

She retired from Emory University in Atlanta, where she served for more than 25 years as an Academic Administrator in the History Department. Rosalyn found fulfillment in her work, forming lasting friendships with colleagues and students who admired her intelligence, steadiness, and generous spirit.

A woman of many passions, Rosalyn was a longtime member of Glenn Memorial Methodist Church and an enthusiastic participant in the Atlanta Cajun Zydeco Association, where she embraced her love of dance and community. Known for her cheery smile, kindness, and unwaveringly positive outlook, she had a remarkable ability to make others feel seen, valued, and loved - and she never let them forget it.

Rosalyn was a lifelong reader with an insatiable thirst for knowledge, a talented cook and patient seamstress. She was a dedicated student of the French language, enjoyed yoga and genealogy. She was a treasured friend to all who knew her. Her presence brought light, laughter, and comfort, and her absence will be felt deeply.

She is survived by her daughter Lisa Phillips (Mike Owens) of Brevard, North Carolina; her son Trace A. Phillips (Jen Moran) of Edwards, Colorado; her sister Melissa Page (Hugh Simpson) of Los Lunas, New Mexico; and her former husband Mike Phillips (Susanne Pinkley) of Alpharetta, Georgia. Rosalyn is also remembered with love by many extended family members and countless friends whose lives she touched. Her memory will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know her.

A funeral service will be held on March 12, 2026 at 1:30 pm in Glenn Memorial UMC's Little Chapel at Emory University in Atlanta.

In remembrance, consider a donation to WABE or Friends of Disabled Adults and Children.
