Nora M Reed

Nora Reed is someone you would never forget! She had a fierce love for those around her, especially children and animals. She would do anything and everything for those she cherished. She was never a rich person with money, but she gave and gave to those around her. She lived a difficult life complicated by illness and being disregarded by some. She was tough and sassy and would let you know she “was carrying”. She had a “gift of gab” that superseded anything imaginable and knew something about everything. She loved to craft, paint and decorate for holidays. She was one of the most thoughtful people to walk the earth. She loved to travel and had the opportunity to travel to Iceland, England and Germany. Her favorite trips were those with her sister Patricia to parts of the western USA. Her favorite shows were westerns and going to those famed locations were a real treat for her. She and Patti had a very strong connection.

Although Nora had no biological children, she has helped raise many including her Justin. He has always held a special place in her heart as well as her niece Brittany. She was always thrilled to visit with people to include her “Wyoming County family” and her “British Family” as well as those she called family here in Fayette County. She has always called Bessie Goodson and her children family as well as Rev Morris Nutter and his daughter Sherry, Myra and Bill Taylor, Michele Kessler and “Nanny”, Carolyn and Ronnie Weaver, Jenny and Michael Perry, Tim, Rita and Aireana Bragg, Cheryl Walton Slaznik and of course her church family at Gatewood Church of God. There are probably some whose names have been left out, but they were held closely in her heart.

Nora Graduated from Fayetteville High School in 1980. She played flute in the band and was a talented artist. Her heart broke when the pirate emblem she had painted on the wall was replaced. She said she would always and forever be a Pirate as well as a Mountaineer fan.

Nora loved Jesus and is now chatting with him in Heaven. We who love her know we will meet again, and she will catch us up on the happenings in Heaven. Until then our beloved sister, rest easy knowing your Alie Cat is safe and loved.

Funeral services for Nora will be on Saturday, January 21st, 2023, at 12pm with Rev. Morris Nutter and Pastor Jackie Pittman officiating. The family will receive friends visitors one hour prior.
