Stacy Reed Obituary
Stacy was born Sept. 28, 1975, in New London, the daughter of Karen Cole Pompea and Charles "Skip" Pompea. She was a 1993 graduate of Lyme-Old Lyme High School, followed by Roger Williams University, where she earned a Bachelor's Degree in Education. She went on to earn a Master's Degree in Education from Central CT State University. She taught 5th and 6th grades in the Guilford School System for many years.
She married David Reed in Conway, N.H., Nov. 16, 2002. Stacy is survived by her loving husband David; sons Matthew and Charlie; and their family dog, Diesel. She is survived by her mother, Karen Cole Pompea, Old Lyme; father, Charles (Tammy) Pompea, Hobe Sound, Fla. and Scarborough, Maine; brother Todd (Marci) Pompea, of Old Saybrook. Also sisters, Amy (Ron) Cestra, New York City, Sarah Pompea, Wells, Maine, and Elizabeth Pompea, San Francisco, Calif. She has many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
Her family knew her as a patient, kind, smart, thoughtful and a loving daughter, wife, mother, sister and aunt. Stacy's friendship, commitment to education, easy smile, and beautiful blue eyes will be missed by her family, friends, professional peers and her students in Guilford.
We would like to thank the dedicated nurses and doctors at Smilow, Dana Farber, and hospice at Middlesex Hospital for Stacy's care.
