Thelma Doris McNeil Reid

Thelma Doris McNeil Reid, 89, went to be with her Lord on Wednesday October the 8th. She was born January 8, 1925 near Cleveland, Mississippi to Clarence McNeil and Volora Swinger McNeil. She is reunited with the love of her life of 48 years, Roy Reid, who preceded her.

She was an amazing wife to Roy, a mom to six children, grandmother to fourteen, great grandmother to thirteen, and great great grandmother to one. As a Registered Nurse, many will remember the acts of love, kindness, and compassion she showed toward them and their families.

She is also survived by a brother, Stanley McNeil and wife Jane of Boyle, Miss. She is preceded by her parents, two brothers Elbert McNeil and wife Lorine and Jimmy McNeil and wife Dorothy, and two sisters Anna Hoyle and husband Dean and Margie Balducci and husband Marshall.
