Dolly (Borghild) Reed, nee Dahl, passed away peacefully at Porteous Lodge in Saskatoon on Sunday May 5, 2024 at the age of ninety-seven. She was born on her parents’ farm near Dunblane, Saskatchewan on March 20, 1927. She attended Manna School, and later took her grade twelve at LCBI in Outlook. After graduating, she went on to receive her Registered Nursing degree from St. Paul’s Hospital in Saskatoon.
Dolly worked at several different hospitals in Saskatchewan, and met the man who would become her husband, Grant Reed, on a blind date while working at the Elrose Hospital. After they married, Grant and Dolly farmed near Elrose, then later moved to the Birsay area and farmed at both locations for many years. Dolly had five children, eight grandchildren, four great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.
Left to cherish her memory are her children: Janet Reed, Brian Reed (Sherry Isely), Brenda Reed (Mark Jeynes), Gavin Reed (Nelma Aquino), Joanne Reed (Barry Page); her grandchildren: Dustin Burke, Graeme Reed, Errol Reed, Monty Jeynes, Alannah Page, Logan Page and Quinn Sophia Reed; her great-grandchildren: Justine (Ogilvie) Conner, Bailey (Ogilvie) Cozart, C.J. Ogilvie and Hailey Reed; and her great-great-grandchildren: Paxton Connor and Barrett Connor.
