Debbie Denise Reed

She is survived by her devoted husband of 10 years, Herd Reed. Her legacy lives on through her children, DeAdre Scandrick, Randy Tyler and Devante Tyler; her brothers, Ronnie Winzer, Michael Winzer, Larry Glenn, and her sisters, Tammy Winzer and Stacy Winzer. Debbie also leaves behind her five grandchildren who will grow up hearing legendary tales of their grandmother's escapades and her boundless love.

Debbie's work as a Certified Nursing Assistant was more than just a job; it was a performance of compassion and care for others. She brought comfort and smiles to many, treating each day as an opportunity to spread joy in her unique and unforgettable way.

If life were a casino, Debbie played every game with enthusiasm, especially when she was at the casino in Las Vegas. Her love for the slots was only matched by her love for camping under the stars and creating memories with her family. Debbie's Mac and Cheese and Hot Water Cornbread were the stuff of legend. She never passed up the chance to enjoy a good crab boil.

Debbie is preceded in death by her mother, Linda Glenn; her sisters Terry Glenn, Angela Johnson and her son/nephew Tony “Rocky” Gooden.

Debbie, you will be dearly missed but never forgotten.
