Judith A. Reed

Judith was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. Family was everything to Judith, but family did not just mean blood relatives. She showed love unconditionally to everyone and was a superior listener. Even when she was in darkness herself, she was a beacon of light and hope to others. She always put others first, taking care of their needs before her own needs. She loved to laugh, was giving to others, and was a bundle of personality. Judith had a love for children and was a Brownie and Girl Scout Leader and was a mother advisor of Rainbow Girls and a member of the Order of the Eastern Star Ruth Chapter #17 where she was the past matron.

Judith is survived by her loving husband of 52 beautiful years, Bill Reed; her daughter, Margie Reed of Tampa, FL; her son, Michael (Kristina) Reed of San Francisco, CA; two grandsons, Noah and Jack Reed both of San Francisco, CA; a brother, Larry (Nancy) Welch of Galion; a niece, three nephews and numerous cousins. In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her brothers, Rodger and Roy Welch.
