Phyllis Kay Reed

After working while her three sons were young, she opted to stay at home and raise them until they were all out of the house, returning briefly to the workforce as a temp for a few years.

Phyllis spent many years bowling with her friends and at one time was the Missouri WIBC Vice President.

Her greatest joy, however, was helping with the church and playing piano for several decades at Little Blue Baptist Church. She loved helping at the church any way she could and loved being a part of the family she had in Christ.

Phyllis also made time to attend all her son’s sporting events, and was there as a team mom and scorekeeper, no matter what sport it was.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Donell O. Reed, and by her oldest son Lonnie Wilson (wife Lisa).

Survived by son Ron Wilson (wife Robyn), and son Jonnie Reed (wife Stacy). She has three surviving siblings, sister Nancy (husband Leonard) Hopkins, brother Ivan (wife Kimberly) Berry, and brother Max (wife Sharon) Berry. Phyllis is also survived by her Sister In-Law June Hicks. Phyllis leaves this world with 7 nieces and nephews. 13 Grandchildren. 5 Great grandchildren. And a countless amount of friends and acquaintances she had in her 84 years. She never met a stranger and welcoming to everyone.

A remembrance of life has been planned for Saturday, November 1st, 2025, at Little Blue Baptist Church (7119 S. Noland Rd, Kansas City, MO 64133), at 11:00am, followed by a small luncheon at the church.
