Lucille Reed

Lucille Reed was born April 17, 1927, on Easter Sunday.  She was the youngest of 8 siblings and was only 16 when her mother died and only 20 when her father died.  She married Marion Edwin Reed on February 2, 1946. They lived in Shallowater, Texas and Lubbock, Texas for many years; then moved to just south of Vega, Texas   in 1969, and farmed for many years, then later moved to Dimmit, Texas.   She lived in DeSoto, Texas, with her daughter for the past 26 ½ years.    She was the epitome of the Proverbs 31 woman.  She raised four children of her own, and helped raise many others; she was an excellent seamstress and could make something beautiful out of most anything; she was an excellent cook; she delighted in providing for her family; she worked outside the home after the children were grown and was manager of the fabric department at TG&Y/M.E. Moses in Dimmitt, Texas, for several years.  She had a servant’s heart; she was a giver; she was a Godly woman; and loved her family and friends fiercely.   She was definitely a Proverbs 31 woman.
