Georgia Anna “Annie” Stewart White Reed was born August 4, 1923 in Camp Springs, Arkansas to Hamp and Classie White. She was the oldest of three children. Georgia attended Howard County Training School in Tollette, Arkansas. She met and married Ollie Buddy Reed in October of 1940, and to this union seven children were born. She and her husband provided a safe and loving environment for their family.
After being married for a while, Georgia and Ollie moved to California. While in California, Georgia worked for Southern Pacific Railroads. In the spring of 1946 they returned to Arkansas, where she became a full-time homemaker and mother. After her children were in school she worked as a caregiver (CNA) in several nursing homes in the area. After their marriage, Georgia became a member of the Tabernacle C.M.E. Church in Schaal, Arkansas.
Sister Georgia was an active member and asset to the church serving on the church’s board and holding several vital positions that helped carry and support the church through the years. Sister Georgia provided her time and services to the church and community of Schaals until her health failed.
“Miss Annie” was a gracious caregiver and provided love and guidance to many people over the years. All the children of the community knew and loved “Miss Annie”. They would come by and visit with her and spend time at her home. (All the kids knew about Miss Annie’s candy bucket!) Georgia was a true animal lover and had her own little zoo at her home that was also enjoyed by the many children she loved and cared for. The Reed home had an open door and was always filled with family and friends. Georgia had one true passion...fishing! She would be on the creek bank from sunup to sundown. She would rather fish than eat!
Preceding her in death were her loving husband—Ollie B. Reed; her son—George Reed; sister—Earline White; brother—John Willie Marshall; grandsons—Anthony Reed and Curtis R. Young, Jr.; great-great granddaughter—Sadie Walton.
She leaves to mourn her children— James Dean Reed (Norma Jean) of Pontiac, Michigan, Aution Gene Reed of Detroit, Michigan, Charlie Jewel Reed Young (Curtis) of Stockton, California, Nora Mae Reed Shadrick (Grady) also of Stockton, California, Benny Ray Reed (Eartha) and Linda Kay Reed Trotter (Larry) of Schaal, Arkansas; daughters-in-law—Velverly Sue Reed of Detroit, Michigan and Margaret Reed of Southfield, Michigan;
thirty grandchildren, forty-five great grandchildren, fifteen great-great grandchildren, eight foster grandchildren, and fifteen great grand foster children. Georgia measured her wealth by the size of her family. She considered herself “RICH”!
No matter who she was to you: Momma, Grandma, Sister Reed, Miss Annie, Aunt Annie, Georgia Ann, Cousin Annie, Sweet Georgia Brown, or just Annie, she was good and kind; and because of that love she shared, Georgia will always be on our mind!
Funeral services will be held at F. T. Jeans Memorial C M E Church Tollette with Rev. Chester Jones officiating. Burial will be in Tollette Cemetery Schaal.
