Jerlean Reed
January 22, 1940 — March 4, 2020
Jerlean Reed went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, March 4, 2020.
Jerlean was born on January 22, 1940 in Greenwood, MS, daughter of the late Henry and Etta (Williams) Reed. Most recently, she was working as an assembly line operator before she retired. She always treated a stranger as a friend, and a friend as family.
She leaves to cherish her memory and legacy: ten children Theodore (Jomolda) Lockett of Ellenwood, GA; Larry Lockett of Long Beach, CA; Eddie (Keisha) Lockett Jr. of Orlando, FL; Tamika Reed of Orlando, FL; Dorothy (James) Kennedy of Battle Creek, MI; Norman (Sharon) Stacy of Kalamazoo, MI; Patricia Ford of Kalamazoo, MI; Jimmy (Katrina) Stacy of Kalamazoo, MI; Gloria (Perry) Stacy of Athens, GA Redise (Mark) Shakespeare of Kalamazoo, MI; a host of grandchildren and great-grandchildren; her sister, Melvina Smith of Ellenwood, GA; and two brothers, LeDell Reed of Greenwood, MS, Ervin Reed of Irving, TX, and Mingion Reed of Orlando; and several nieces, nephews, many cousins and dear friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents; a daughter, Joyce Lomax; a sister, Rosie Ford; and a brother, Earnest Reed.
Don't Grieve
Today I left my loved ones and as I go I pray, Lord don't let them grieve too much, because I've gone away. Let there be no wailing echoing the halls, the same halls that held laughter and answers to my calls. I pray they all take comfort accepting the true way and listen when I tell them these three things today. Love will be forever, a promise that will last. So love me more than ever now my time with you has passed. And last of all remember the glowing love to be, when our eyes meet once again, for all eternity.
Funeral Services are Saturday, March 14, 2020 at 11:00 am at Faith Assembly of God, 9307 Curry Ford Road, Orlando, Florida 32825 with Pastor Gerson Torres officiating.
Visitation with the family will precede the service at the church on Saturday from 10:00 am - 11:00 am.
Interment will follow at Taft Cemetery, Orlando.
