NATCHEZ – Virginia Gloria McNeill Reed peacefully passed away on July 22, 2024, in Daphne, AL.

Gloria Reed was born on Dec. 20, 1930, in Midnight, MS.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 67 years, Edwin “Wimp” Reed.

She is survived by their sons, Ed “Skeeter” Reed, Jr. (Sandra) of Long Beach, MS, Morris “Mac” Reed (Angie) of Daphne, AL, and Ricky Reed (Lori) of Navarre, FL.
