Sarah Jane "Sally" Reed, 86, of Winamac, IN passed away surrounded by her family at
10:38 AM Sunday, December 10, 2017 at Pulaski Memorial Hospital in Winamac. Sally
was born on June 22, 1931 in Thornhope, IN to the late Ervin H. and Vesta McLellan
Holcomb. On November 23, 1951, she married the love of her life, Gordon Wayne Reed
in North Judson, IN. He passed away October 8, 1971.

As a young woman, Sally worked at Matilda's Cafe in Winamac and spent many years
taking care of elderly people in their homes.






Sally enjoyed flower gardening, cooking and baking. She also enjoyed playing and
listening to music, especially playing the organ.

Sally enjoyed shopping and spending time at the Von Tobel Senior Center. She was an
avid Euchre player and IU Basketball and NASCAR fan.





The greatest joy in Sally's life was her family (and her two dachshunds, Shadow and
Sparky) . Whether it was spending time in the living room listening to her kids play
music or spending time with her grandchildren, Sally was most in her element when
she was surrounded by her loving family.
