Crystal Rae Reed, age 47, of Camden, TN passed away on Monday, May 26, 2025, at St. Thomas West Hospital in Nashville, TN. Mrs. Reed was born on October 23, 1977, in Paris, TN to the late Donald Ray Johnson and the late Kathy Ayres. She was also preceded in death by a son, Taylor Reed; paternal grandparents, Jean and L.B. Johnson; maternal grandparents, Robert and Biggie May Watson; and many beloved friends and family. Crystal was a cashier at Cash Savers in Camden, TN.
She was nothing but light and love and to know her was to absolutely love her. So many individuals have been touched by Crystal's kindness and contagious smile, whether that be in a check out line or simply bumping into her. Crystal and Ronald would have been celebrating 30 years of marriage as high school sweethearts this year. She was a hard working wife, proud mother, and shining grandmother (Mimi) to her newborn and only grandchild, Motlee.
