REED, Elizabeth Age 89 of Nashville passed away May 7, 2021, only 8 days shy of 90 years old, having lived a long and wonderful life. She died quietly with her son Dan holding her hand and with a pastor and caregiver by her side. She was able to say goodbye to her daughter Anita and some close friends in the final hours. Elizabeth loved to help people and did so her whole life, sometimes without even knowing the impact she was having on peoples lives.
