Louise Reid Obituary

Louise Reid

Louise Reid, 93, passed at home on 02/20/21 and went to join her husband Ed who has been patiently waiting for 16 years.

Louise was born in Spartanburg SC the daughter of the late Ebenezer and Thelma Jolley and moved to Asheville, NC with her husband in the 1950s. They were long time members of Groce United Methodist Church. Louise was funny and lively and had many friends she gathered over the years and kept fondly in mind even when she became less able to reach out. She delighted in playing Bridge and is, doubtless, already winning games in the beyond, with partners old and new.

Louise is survived by her brother Phil Jolley (from whom she still expects a phone call every saturday) and daughter and son-in-law Jill and Karl Ehrsam.

In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to ALS research. For information oncerning Lou Gehrig's disease go to the ALS Association website at als.org.

Louise will rest at Greenlawn Memorial Gardens in Spartanburg with her parents and husband. No services will be held at this time due both to COVID-19 and the fact that she abhorred funerals and would much rather her friends went out to lunch and remembered her with laughter. Condolences can be made to the family at www.ashevilleareaalternative.com
