Mrs. Reed had been a member of Church of the Blessed Sacrament in West Lafayette for 40 years. She was a past member of the board of directors at the YWCA, participated in Cosmos and helped establish the YWCA Women's Shelter. She held various officer positions with Psi Iota Xi sorority and was a member of the John Purdue Club for many years.

She will be greatly missed but always remembered for birthday shopping with her grandchildren, attending grandparent's day at school, baking cookies and preparing noodles. She also enjoyed vacationing with family and friends and her Saturday morning breakfast group. She was preceded in death by a sister, Martha Stevens, and a brother, Walter Petersen. The family would like to especially thank Fr. Bob Klemme for his friendship and spiritual guidance, Dr. Wael Harb and his staff at Horizon Oncology and the entire staff of University Place for their compassion and caring.
