Nicole Reed Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Cremation & Funeral Services of Tidewater on Mar. 9, 2026.
On Friday, March 6, 2026 at 6:17 pm EST, our best girl Nicole Marie Reed crossed the fog and made her grand entrance to Summerland.

Waiting for her were her mother Anne Reed, her life partner Joseph Francis, and her beloved best friend Kristopher Godfrey.

"Kneecoal" as she was known by those closest to her, was not "the life of the party". She would light up a room with her presence.

She was a loyal friend and confidant, a mother to the motherless, and a safe haven to those in need, without question or expectation.

Nicole is survived by her father Thomas (Eydie) of Pennsylvania. Two brothers- Willium (Kalaya) Reed of Texas and Tommy (Serena) Reed of Pennsylvania, her life partner Becca Weinschel, her trusted confidant Dusty Young, and two niblings Rowan and Mandie.

She leaves behind a worldwide wide circle of chosen family, friends, coworkers, and frenemies.

Per her wishes, no public service will be held.

Cremation and Funeral Services of Tidewater is handling the arrangements.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
