Sally Reid Obituary

Sally loved to play Bingo, was an avid reader, and enjoyed the company of her dogs, Noah and Oliver. She always looked forward to hosting every holiday.
Her love and devotion for her children and grandchildren was endless. Her home was the hub of her family where laughter echoed through the rooms and memories were made that will last a life time.

She was predeceased by a daughter-in-law, Christine Reid; two sisters, Patricia Phillips and Julia Lenio; a brother, Parker Knight; granddaughter, Natalie Szpyrka; grandson-in-law, Roger Perkins; and nieces and nephews, James Phillips, Patricia Lenio, Steven Lenio, Billy Lenio, and Kevin Reid.
