Book of Memories for Edith T. Reed

Condolence From Betty Beadle

Edythe and I met as freshman in high school over 70 years ago, and have been best friends ever since. I wrote a story for English class about a girl named Edith who changed the spelling of her name to Edythe (at Edith's suggestion.) Of course, the girl led a more interesting and fanciful life after she changed the spelling of her name and Edith was forever after known to us as Edythe. Edythe and I discussed philosophy, politics, music, food, and a dozen other subjects and we understood each other completely. We were inseparable friends, separated only by her death. I shall miss her!

Condolence From Elizabeth, Harold and Bobby Beadle

Aunt Edythe was always there for our special events. She liked to play games with us, puzzles, we always celebrated finding that last piece. Betty and Edythe were true friends who understood each other and found peace in discussing current events, philosophy and life in general. She worried about a small boy getting too close to the balcony, she enjoyed raspberry candies and being happy and having fun. There was never a more generous or more gracious person. She can never be replaced, we will never be the same without her

Condolence From Carol, Tim, Catherine & Tom, Carinne and Christopher

Aunt Edythe, You mean everything to us! Love and generosity, brightly colored balloons, happiness, sunshine, lime green Disneyworld t- shirts,one of a kind birthday cakes, beautiful flowers, swimming pools, beaches, summer and happiness, birds and butterflies, suntans and raspberries,and puzzles and beanie babies,ChocoVine wine and Happy New Year, birthdays and half birthdays and conversations. You are such a gracious lady who brought us such joy and fun and all the best stories. You were one of a kind, we are devastated with the thought of being without you. Nothing will ever be the same without you. We love you and won't ever forget you. You mean everything to us! We love you forever!

I started at Buck in May of 1980 and I worked for Alberta Stout, another pioneer in the profession. I did not work for Edith but I know she was well respected and loved by those who worked with her. I hope you are enjoying a nice libation from the old Club at Madison Square Garden. You are smiling down from us in heaven and it is no surprise you have such a loving family. You will be missed by all those whose life you touched at Buck. Here is to a wonderfully warm and smart lady and I am sorry I cannot be at your service at St Agnes. It is a chuch I know well as a Xavier HS graduate.

I met Edith when I was Benefits Manager at Maryknoll Fathers & Brothers. She was the Actuary for our Retirement Plan. She rode the train up to Ossining, NY and I picked her up every year for our Retirement Board Meeting. After, we always took off for a fun day. The first question the Board Members asked each year at the meeting was “Where are you two going after the meeting?” Then Edith spent the evening at my house upstate NY and I took her to the train in the morning. When she retired, we continued our annual togethers. Edith was always up for anything as you can see from the photo taken in 1989 when we climbed to the Skytop Tower at Mohonk Mountain House. After I retired to Florida, I was happy that Edith was able to visit me on one of her many rounds of friends and family down here. We enjoyed 5 days of adventure in the Orlando area in November, 2010 before I delivered her to Richard Beadle in Homosassa. I was hoping she was planning another trip soon. Edith was so kind, generous and funny. We always had a great time. I know she loved life and enjoyed every minute of it. She will be missed by everyone who knew her.

Edith Reed was "Aunt Edythe" to my Sister, my Brother and myself since birth; and she became "Aunt Edythe" to our spouses and children as well. She was our Mother's best friend since High School, and my Sister's Godmother (I always wished she was mine too!); but most importantly, she was an integral and cherished part of our family. She was always there (and a very big part of) every graduation, wedding, anniversary, baby shower, retirement, etc.; and they wouldn't have seemed complete without her. I can always remember being excited when she was coming, and sad to see her leave. She was a loving, generous and beautiful person, and we were blessed to have her in our lives. She was our "Aunt Edythe", and we will cherish the memories we have of her, and miss her, for the rest of our lives. Richard, Tammy, Richard II and Brittany Beadle
