 K.
Barbara Reed, 68 of Lancaster, Pa died September 30th.
Born in
Pottstown, Pa and raised in Marion, Indiana, she was the daughter
of the late Robert G. and Katherine Koslesky Reed. She was the
wife of James C. Reed. They would have celebrated their 47th
wedding anniversary on October 24th.
Barb graduated
from Reading Hospital School of Nursing, Class of 1964.
Barbara worked
in OB while accompanying her husband in the service at Washington,
DC and San Diego, CA. After again returning to PA, she worked
almost exclusively in geriatric nursing, notably 19 years at
Moravian Manor, Lititz, and 8 years at Luther Acres, also in
Lititz. Barbara retired in the spring of 2009.
In her later
years, Barb learned to appreciate fine wines. Unfortunately, she
did not find any on her annual trips to the Maryland shore with
her long- time Palmyra friend Nancy, nor on the yearly road trips
to the NY wine country with her dear friend Terry of Lititz,
accompanied by husband James as driver and box bearer.
Surviving
besides her husband are two sons, Thomas R. married to Sharon of
Akron and Matthew B. married to Patrice of Lititz, and four
grandchildren; Emily, Gabriella, Lucy, and Jack.
A Mass will be
held at St. James Catholic Church, 505 Woodcrest Ave. Lititz, Pa
on Thursday, October 6th at 11am with Fr. James O’ Blaney as
Celebrant. A greeting time will be held at the church from
