Marian loved the beach, dancing, primping, her cat Orange and her best friend, Ruthene Self. She was the sweetest mom and will be greatly missed.
Marian was a graduate of Red Bank High School and retired from BCBS in 1992 after 28 years of service. She loved her BCBS family. She was of the Baptist faith and attended Red Bank Baptist Church and Memorial Baptist.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Luther Bates Reed and Mary Erwin Reed; sister, Joanne Powell; brother, Erwin Bates Reed.
Marian is survived by her daughter, Janet (Allen Arthur) and her cat, Orange who she loved dearly.
The family would like to thank Hearth Hospice of attending to her care, especially Samantha Gabby Erwin, RN and Teresa Mead, CNA.
The family will receive friends from 1 to 2 pm on Wednesday, April 3, at the North Chapel of Chattanooga Funeral Home.
A Graveside service will follow at 2:30 pm on Wednesday, at the Chattanooga Memorial Park, Pond Pavilion.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to your local Police and Fire Departments, an Animal Shelter, any of your favorite charities or plant a flower or tree in her memory.
