Dorothy "Sue" Reed

Dorothy “Sue” Reed, passed away peacefully in her sleep on the morning of July 2, 2024, at the age of 78, in Fort Worth, TX. Born on August 21, 1945, in Weatherford, TX, she was the daughter of Warren "Coy" Curtis and Dorothy Lou Green Curtis.

Sue was a devoted and faithful servant of God, who cherished sharing the love of Jesus with everyone she met. She was a fierce prayer warrior that treasured her time in prayer and in God’s word. She was a beloved wife for 41 years to Gary Reed, a loving mother to Jennifer Booher (husband Andy) and Mark Simmons (wife Jeanette), and a caring stepmother to Jennifer Hartobey (husband Dan) and Ken Reed. Sue took immense pride in her family, including her 12 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren, who brought her unmeasurable joy.

One of her many gifts was the ability to be an encourager and build others up. She was a caregiver and never failed to tell or show someone what they meant to her. Her passion for baking made her the designated dessert provider at family and community gatherings. She loved gardening and would fill her patio with beautiful flowers that would draw in butterflies. She also found joy in crafting and decorating, ensuring her home was festively adorned for every season and holiday.

Sue was preceded in death by her parents, Coy and Dorothy Curtis, and her sister, Donna Dowdy.

In accordance with her wishes, there will be no public memorial service. A private Celebration of Life will be held for immediate family members, where they will honor her memory and the love she spread throughout her life. Her family will miss her terribly and cherishes the memories of her. They are thankful that through their faith, they have peace knowing that they will see her again in Heaven.
