Another angel is in heaven this day. Our beloved Mamaw was born December 1, 1912 in Van Buren, Arkansas to Caleb and Dollie (Phillips) Reed. She left this earth on Monday, November 10, 2008, in Owasso at the age of 95, just 20 days short of 96 years old. Waiting to greet her were her parents, step-mother, half-sister, half-brother, husband Jack, daughters, Phyllis and Frances and grandson, Bobby. Family left to miss this strong, loving and gracious woman are two daughters and their husbands, Jackie and Roger Whiteside of Owasso, Derla Jean and Terry Wise of Vinita; son-in-law Floyd Campbell of Wagoner, 8 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren and 6 great-great grandchildren. The family would like to offer special thanks to Tommie at St. Johns of Owasso, Sterling House of Owasso and Grace Hospice for their loving and expert care. Services will be held Friday, November 14, 2008 at 11 a.m., Ninde Woodland Chapel interment Floral Haven Memorial Gardens. Rest in God's arms Mamaw.

Tributes & Memories

I never left Mamaw's house empty handed. She was always giving me her latest 'Taste of Home' magazine so I could try a new recipe. I still have a few of those around, and think of her when I reach for it. She was a true example of love. My thoughts are with you all.

Although she was my Aunt, I didn't get to spend my time with her. She is at peace and in a better place. I will never forget her smile. With love, Tina Proctor, daughter of Deborah Sue Reed Proctor.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Great Aunt Rachel was always so sweet & kind. I always looked forward to getting her Christmas cards each year. It made me feel like I still had a connection to my grandma. (Leila Hill) May God bless you all and help you get through this time.

As you pass through life God places people in your path that shape and give meaning to your life. My Mamaw was that person. She has always been a best friend, a mentor, and adviser as well as being my strength in difficult times. She has lived a beautiful life. She has seen so much and dealt with such loss and heartache, that she always amazed me with her strength and courage. When I felt down, or was going through a difficult time, all I had to do was look at her and I realized how small my problems were. She is the essence of God’s love, and has always been His good and faithful servant. She never had harsh words or gossip to speak of others, and would be there to lift you up. I am so much better as a person having known her and been showered by her love. I only hope to be half the person she was and live a life as well lived as hers. It is rare to have a grandparent be a best friend but I can truly say she was to me. I love you Mamaw.

You will be greatly missed. You were there when Cole was born and and you invited me into the family as one of your own. I hope you know how grateful I am to you. We love you!

I am so sorry to hear of Mamaw's passing. I loved and respected her very much. She taught me so much through the years. She definately lived what she believed and shined God's love every day. She never held a grudge and was always positive. I will miss her tremendously. Her smile was a ray of sunshine each time I visited her. My children are a part of her and I am blessed for knowing her.

Mamaw was the strongest woman i ever met and i feel honored to have known her. She will be missed and we will all see her again someday. Until then, i will be smiling up at her and she will be our new guardian angel watching down on us and my little Jane. We love you Mamaw.

I'm terribly sad that I wasn't able to see her again before her passing... and that she'll miss meeting another great-great-grandchild by only a couple of months. Mamaw was always an example to me of quiet modesty, sweetness, and kindness. This world will sorely miss her. Wish we could be there. Rikki + Abe + Baby Girl O

I never met this wonderful woman but I heard so much about her amazing spirit. He memory will thrive in those that knew and loved her. May God bless and comfort you all, and may her soul rest in peace.

I know you will all miss her, but whhat an amazing long life she had. She told Nancy in 95 years she had never seen an ice storm like last December, so I guess she really did see it all! God Bless You All. Debbie Phelps
