Our precious mother, Patricia (Patty) Lynn Reed, age 68, left her pain in this world and picked up her heavenly wings on Tuesday, May 18, 2022 after a long illness.
Patty was born October 26,1953 in Oak Hill, West Virginia to the late Eugene Debs Reed and Mae Olivia Stout Reed. The youngest daughter of eight children, Patty was preceded in death by brothers Edward Reed, James Tompkins, Bobby Reed, and sister, Jane Canterbury.
Patty married Jerry Wayne Ward, Sr. in June of 1968 and together they had three children…Taresa, Jerry II, and Tina. When Jerry Sr. proceeded her in death in 1982, Patty took on the role of both mother and father, devoting her life to her children and grandchildren.
Patty was a member of the Salem Road Freewill Baptist Church, where she loved singing, praising God, and praying for those in need. Patty never met a stranger and always found a way to make people laugh and feel loved.

Ward, II, and Tina (Josh) Hutcheson; her 10 grandchildren: Jerry W.
