Gladys was a beautiful example of how to live a life being God's hands and feet. She continuously helped where she could, and often aided others in their medical care in her work as a home health care worker.

Gladys inspired many who celebrated her delicious cooking and baking, her flair for fashion and home decorating, and her sewing and gardening abilities. She was an avid reader, undoubtedly due to her starting school when she was just 3 years old! Gladys enjoyed the travels she experienced with family and friends, from exploring small Texas towns antiquing; a Bahamian cruise; New York to catch a Broadway play; and even a tour of England.

But her heart and joyful laughter was brightest to all whenever she was with her close knit family, especially with her sisters and brother, her nieces and nephews, her children and grandchildren; be it at reunions, family events, or holiday meals… and always there teasing her husband Carlton for eating too much!

The Reed family extends special thanks to everyone who has ever spoken a kind word or done a sweet deed for our Beloved Gladys Morea Reed. Gladys lived a life solid in her faith in God. She will be deeply missed.
