Obituary of Wanda D. Reed

Please share a memory of Wanda to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Wanda Reed, born February 20, 1926 to Lawrence Marr and Lucy McCombs Marr, passed away January 25, 2014 at age 87. She accepted Christ as a youth. She joined Boone Creek Baptist Church as a young woman, attending over 50 years as an active member as long as health permitted. She lived all her life in the Licking community, graduating Licking High School in 1944. She worked 24 years at Rawlings, although her favorite roles were as wife and mother. She married Robert Reed December 18, 1944. To this union 2 children were born – daughter, Deloris Ann, son, Robert Jr. “Bobby”. Wanda enjoyed her home and liked to work outside in the yard and gardens. Her cherished memories were spent Sundays worshiping God, fellowshipping with friends and neighbors, then cooking delicious fried chicken dinners for her family. She poured her love out on her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren teaching them God’s Word and by her sweet life’s example. She allowed them to “help” hang clothes on the line, stir a batter, pull a weed or pick a flower. She was particularly fond of puzzles and games, including long Skip-Bo matches. Wanda treasured visits with dear friends, many of whom continued to reach out to her as her health declined. She made many new friends through caregivers. Her sense of humor, cheerful nature, and compassion for others will be missed. She was preceded in death by her parents; one brother, Sherman Marr; one sister, Ozell Towe; husband, Robert Reed, and beloved son, Bobby. Wanda leaves behind her daughter, Deloris Krewson and husband Jim; grandchildren, Tammy Nevils and husband John, Rob Krewson and wife Siciley, and Jodi East and husband John; 4 great-grandchildren, Reed and Rhett Krewson, and Jayc and Jena East.
