  Betty C. Reed WESLEY CHAPEL, FL Betty C. Reed, 88, died peacefully on December 
  24, 2009, of COPD. Mrs. Reed was the devoted wife of the late Richard E. Reed,

  in June, 2009. Mrs. Reed was born in Newmanstown, on September 2, 1921. She 
  attended Newmanstown High School until 1937 and married Richard on September 
  11, 1938. Mrs. Reed was a homemaker and full-time mother for many years. She 
  raised two sons and a daughter, working part-time to supplement the family 
  income once all three children were in school. After the children were grown, 
  she worked in retail sales and managed a retail bread store in Port Charlotte, 
  Fla., after moving there with her husband in 1973, upon his retirement. She was 
  an accomplished pianist until her later years, when arthritis made it difficult 
  to play. She had a great love of cooking and enjoyed many other hobbies 
  including knitting, bowling, sewing, cards, bingo, and games of all sorts. She 
  dearly loved animals and supported many charities for their benefit. She was 
  her husband's close companion throughout their married life and traveled the 
  United States and Canada at his side. Mrs. Reed is survived by her children, 
  Richard E. Reed, Jr. and his wife, June Nazarian-Reed of Potomac, Md., Robert 
  E. Reed and his wife, Sherry L. Reed of Exton, and Royal Sanders James and her 
  husband, Richard James of Tampa, Fla.; close cousins, Richard Grimes and his 
  wife, June Grimes, Sally Ann Hoffa and her husband, Donald Hoffa, and Andrew 
  Schoener and his wife, Rhea Schoener; and two sisters-in-law, Mary Lou Bergman 
  and Loretta Gromis. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Stephanie M. 
  Reed of Philadelphia, Jonathan R. Reed of West Chester, and Elisabeth 
  Christenson and her husband, Daniel Christenson of Lutz, Fla.; as well as her 
  greatgranddaughter, Mia Grace Christenson; and many nieces and nephews. Miss 
  Mia Grace, daughter of Elisabeth and Daniel, was a bright spot in her life 
  during her final years. A memorial service is planned for 2:30 on Sunday, April 
  11, at the Millcreek Lutheran Church, to be followed by a short graveside 
  service. After the services there will be food and refreshments for all guests 
  at the Millcreek Lutheran Church. Family and all friends are welcome to attend.
