Lena Carol Reid, age 81, departed this life on August 13, 2022, at her home in Brandon, Florida, surrounded by her son Steven Reid, her daughter-in-law, Coleen Reid, and her granddaughters, Nikolette Reid and Renee Peterson. She was born March 25, 1941, to Leroy and Flossie Davis in Oyster Bay, New York, where she grew up with twelve siblings.
She was an adoring wife to her husband Phillip Reid Sr., for thirty five years, and a devoted mother to her sons Phillip Reid Jr., and Steven Reid. Lena’s faith in God, strength, and unwavering dedication to her family is exemplified by her many years of caring for her husband Phillip Sr., and son Phillip Jr., during years of illness. She cherished her grandchildren and often engaged in loving and playful antics with them. She encouraged them in their life goals by telling them they can do anything --- “You’ve got the power!”
Lena loved her Sunday gospels, her daily scratch off runs, and lively banter with her sons.
Lena is survived by her son, Steven, daughter-in-law Coleen, grandchildren, Ashley Reid, CJ, Phillip III, Steven Jr., Renee, Niko, Morgan, and Vance, great grandchildren, Marlee, Mason, Caiden, Aubrie, and Noah, and siblings Leroy, George, Jerry, Norma, Mary Emma, Sandra, Lorraine and Pamela, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
