Ivy Reed Obituary
August 5, 1961 - January 21, 2024
Elk Grove, California - Ivy Antoinette Reed, age 62, of Elk Grove, California, passed away on January 21st, 2024.
Antoinette was born on August 5th, 1961 to Donzell (from Monroe, Louisiana) & Harvey Lee Reed (from El Dorado, Arkansas) at San Francisco General Hospital.
After Antoinette graduated from John F. Kennedy High School in 1980, she went on to study business at Sacramento City College.
Once she graduated from college, she worked at numerous jobs until she ultimately decided to take a position as an analyst with the State of California.
She retired with 34 years of service. Antoinette had pride and integrity in everything she did and always strived to become better in her career.
No matter the destination, Antoinette always had a passion for travel. San Diego, Bodega Bay, and Pismo Beach were often her favorite places to be in her time of leisure.
Antoinette was an exemplary mother figure and human being. She embodied the best of qualities: unconditional love, strength of spirit, and an unending generosity that could be seen in her care for her family and friends. She touched so many lives in the Sacramento area from high school friends to fellow State workers. The world is a little less brighter without her in it. She will be deeply missed.
She was predeceased by her mother and father, Donzell & Harvey Lee Reed. She is survived by her family members including Gregory, Cleon, Pamela, Phillip, Jessica, Jeleona and Jaylin.

I remember when we road Segways across the Sundial Bridge. Our Hawaii trip was a gas, I went Whale watching while you stayed in the room and watched a movie. You will be missed.

You touched many, many lives, Antoinette. You were dear to all who met you. The world is a sadder place without you and the special joy you brought.
