Our beloved Rebecca R Reed "Lil" went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday February 10th, 2016 at the age of 76.
Born May 9th, 1939 in Blythewood, SC , she was the 9th of 12 children born to Wylie and Elizabeth Robertson.

She graduated from Bethel High School in 1957 and went on to become a Mental Health Specialist III and retired from Craft Farrow State Hospital in 1997 after 30 dedicated years.
The whole town knew "Lil" for her delicious cooking and baking. She would spend her spare time fishing and gardening. She loved quality time with her family and friends. Always venturing on trips and lighting up the town with her amazing spirit and smile, she was not only the rock for her family but also for anyone that knew her. She was always there to lift spirits and remind you to never give up.

Reed, whom all reside in South Carolina, her Goddaughter; Deborah Harrison of Charlotte, NC ,12 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren.

My sincerest condolences go out to the family of mrs Reed. For the several years that I have known her, I think she was a real genuine lady who spoke up for what she wanted. She will be sorely missed by all. Woody.
