Patti Reed passed away peacefully at her home, in Chula Vista, on October 14th, 2020. She was born at Mercy Hospital, in San Diego, to Florence M., and Freeman O. ("Jack") Reed. She graduated from Hoover High School in 1968 and from Kelsey-Jenny Business College in 1969. She worked for Pacific Bell Phone Company from 1969 to 1991. Following early retirement from the phone company, Patti became her father's full-time companion and caregiver until his passing in 1999. Personal health issues prevented her from accepting outside employment thereafter.
Patti took up residence at Melrose Care Home, in Chula Vista, from 2008 until her passing in 2020. She will be remembered as a kind and gentle spirit; a devoted daughter, sister and aunt; an avid knitter and crochet artist; and a lover of all animals, especially her Siamese cat, Samantha.
Patti was preceded in death by her mother (1980) and her father (1999). She is survived by her brother, Richard (Diane) and a large extended family of cousins, nieces and nephews.
For the protection of family and friends, and due to recent concerns of a surge in Covid-19 cases, no formal services are planned. Per her wishes, Patricia will be interred with her parents at El Camino Memorial Park, in Sorrento Valley.
