Marlie Reed-Young Obituary

Marlie Jean Reed, 31, born June 2, 1988, was taken before her time early Sunday morning, Mother's Day, May 10, 2020. Marlie is survived by her mother, Stephanie Gayle Zodrow-Tilley; her father, William Reed; sister, Andra Reed; stepdad, Daniel Tilley; her grandmothers, Marlene Brown and Bobbie Joe Myers; aunt and uncle, Paul and Julia Brown; and great grandmother, Dolores Jensen. Sweet Marlie grew up in Lakes Stevens, WA where she attended Glenwood Elementary, Lake Stevens Middle School, and Lake Stevens High School.

May you Rest In Peace, my Marlie Jean.

In a school full of people, being the new girl was not easy! We were never very close to each other, but you always treated me with kindness! When I ran into you at the store and we did some catching up, Im glad I got to tell you, how much your kindness meant to me! Thank you for being the sunshine in my stormy days!
