Marcella Maria Minton Reed, 88
SEAFORD - Marcella Maria Minton Reed passed away on Sunday, June 8, 2008. She was 88.
She had recently been a patient at the Seaford Center of Genesis Health Care.
Mrs. Reed was born in Baltimore on July 23, 1919, and moved to Laurel in 1957 and married John D. Reed, operator of the Laurel Airport and remained his wife until his death in 1980.
Mrs. Reed was a professional photographer and artist, specializing in oil painting.
As a dare in the early 1970s she took belly dancing lessons and performed all over the shore until she was in her mid-70s.
Mrs. Reed was a volunteer at the Good Samaritan Shop in Laurel for over 20 years and was an avid animal lover who raised and cared for many cats.
She is survived by her son, John J. Reed and his wife Donna of Laurel; three granddaughters; three great-grandchildren; two sisters, Jane Harris of Baltimore and Bernice Grenagle and husband Richard of Eldersburg, Md.; and several nieces and nephews.
All services will be private.
Memorial contributions can be made in her memory to the DE S.P.C.A. Sussex Chapter, 326 S. DuPont Highway, Georgetown, DE 19947.
