Thelma Reid
1951-2019
It is with great sadness the Reid family announces the passing of
Thelma Eloise Reid (nee Thompson). Thelma passed away peacefully
surrounded by her family on Saturday, March 9th, 2019 at the age of 67
after a courageous battle with cancer. Loving wife and best friend to
Richard Reid for 43 years. Cherished mother of Alexcia, Adreen (Craig
Murray), Atlon and stepmother to Michelle, Meghan and Karen. Proud
grandmother to grandchildren Avaya Eloise Murray, Joven Murray and
grand-dog, Ace.
Survived by her mother Novlette, surrogate mother Laseena (Tiddy) and
her many brothers and sisters especially Barbara, Beverly (Miss Dee),
Livingston and Jeffrey. Pre-deceased by her father David. Lovingly
remembered by her dear Aunt Veronica (Roy Campbell) who was more like
a sister to her and her children Courtenay and Sandi. Also her best
friend and sister in law, Melva Mullings.
Thelma was a strong woman who loved people and always had a caring,
giving heart. She was very proud of her koi pond and was an avid
gardener but nothing brought her more joy than entertaining her
friends and family in her beloved Jamaica. Thelma was the best wife,
mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She will be deeply missed and
forever cherished. Heaven has gained another angel. We love you
forever and always.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, March 21st from 6-9pm at Corbett

Thelma’s life will be held on Friday, March 22nd at 11am at

Richard and family would like to thank the nurses and staff at the Bob
Kemp Hospice who helped them through this difficult journey and
provided Thelma with the best care in her final days. Special thanks
to Mary, Jane and Bonnie. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Bob
Kemp Hospice would be appreciated.
