Obituary

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Susan Reed, the cabaret singer whom Life magazine saluted in a l955 cover story as the leading lady of the folk music era, has died. She was 84.

The singer, who regularly performed at Carnegie Hall in New York and the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles, died Sunday of natural causes at her nursing home in Greenport, N.Y., publicist Dale Olson said.

Reed also acted alongside Gene Krupa in "Glamour Girl," and in numerous TV shows including 1952's "The Firestone Hour."

She starred on Broadway in the Max Liebman production of "Billy the Kid," and co-starred with her then-husband, James Karen, in regional productions of "Brigadoon" and "Finian's Rainbow."

She is survived by her son, Reed Karen.

Not sure what to say?

God is a God of all Comfort and he will Comfort the Family's...My condolences..

MAY YOUR MEMORY BE ETERNAL!

Dear Reed Karen and Family,

I grew up listening to your mother's beautiful recordings and attending her magical concerts. Later, I was trained as a publicist by your grandmother, Isadora Bennett; and through her, I met your mother, father, and even you as a child. I have one of your mother's delightful collages in my living room. I am only sorry that after your grandmother's death I lost touch with your mother, who was such a special person.

With my deepest sympathy,

Dear Reed Karen and family, I grew up listening to your mother's beautiful recordings and attending her magical concerts.

I am proud to say I own one of your mother's delightful collages.
More than anything, I am sorry we lost touch.

To the Reed Family members; May the peace of God that excels all thoughts, continue to comfort you during this time of sorrow. Philippians 4:7

Dear Family of Susan I am so sorry for your lost. Let me share a scripture with you at James 4:8 were it says Draw close to god and he will draw close to you.

I am truly sorry for your loss. Your tears are not unnoticed by Our Heavenly Father. Although your deep pain will not easily disappear, prayer to God will bring comfort to you as you grieve. The Bible assures us God "is healing the broken hearted ones, and is binding up their painful spot." Psalm 147:3 Please accept my deepest sympathy.
