A part of the Livingston Seventh Day Adventist, Mrs Reda believed in a community built on grace, compassion, and the love of Christ. She worked for many years as a custodian at her alma mater, Livingston Academy, where she cherished the relationships formed with both staff and students.  Known for her cooking (especially her famous apple pies) Mrs. Reda always enjoyed hearing the compliments of how tasty everything was. A gift of food from Mrs. Reda was one way she shared her talents with others. She loved her gardens and canning all the stuff that the Lord blessed them with so she could help provide for her family. An excellent seamstress. she always took the time to mend clothes with her hands or broken hearts with her smile. Always quick to come to her family's need, she will be missed greatly.

A private family service will be held at a later date.
