Tressie Brothers Reed

TRESSIE BROTHERS REED, 91, of North Little Rock and previously of Little Rock, flew peacefully on the wings of a dove to her heavenly home on Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2018. She was born on June 8, 1927 in Waltreak, Ark., to the late Roxie James Brothers and Elmer Brothers. She retired from Teletype, now known as AT&T, as an electronics buyer after 35 years of service. She was a member of Parkview Christian Church. As a devoted wife and loving mother, she made a choice each day to seek the beauty that was all around her. She was the ultimate hostess and even during the hardest of times, thought of the needs of other people. Her favorite activities included spending time with family, cooking, reading, and gardening. She once said that some of her happiest memories were spent traveling around the state in a Winnebago with her husband and daughter as "Foster Parents" to the entire McClellan High School band. She will be remembered for her kind and gentle spirit shown to all who knew her. Preceded in death by her husband, John Reed and multiple siblings, she is survived by her daughter, Barbara Reed Dimon, her husband, Chris Dimon, "Bucky," her beloved Pug, and granddog Rocky. She is also survived by one sister, Shirley Jamison, and two brothers, Charles and Bud Brothers. Visitation is scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 5, 2018 from 4-6 p.m. at Roller-Owens Funeral Home on 5509 J.F.K. in North Little Rock. Service is scheduled for Monday, Aug. 6, 2018 at 2 p.m. at Roller-Owens Funeral Home with entombment at Roselawn Cemetery immediately following the service. Because she loved and treated dogs as members of the family, in lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials are made to Arkansas Paws in Prison, 6814 Princeton Pike, Pine Bluff, Ark. 71602. The family of Mrs. Reed would like to thank her beloved caregiver, Mrs. Victoria Bell and the staff of Baptist Health Hospital-Springhill.
