Harriette was born on Oct. 1, 1914, in Union to Tellie Victoria Sexton and John Walter Sanders. She was married on May 31, 1936, to Lt. Col. Henry McDavid Reed of Anderson.

She is survived by her three children, Col. Henry McDavid Reed II and his wife, Heidi, of Savannah, Ga. and Brussels, Belgium; Rev. Victoria Dodd Reed Bailey and her husband, Jim, of Smithville, Texas, and Nina Deborah Reed Coburn and her husband, Ron, of McCayesville, Ga.; grandchildren, Lt. Col.

She was preceded in death by her husband and by a grandson, Ronald Coburn Jr. Harriette attended public schools in Union, and graduated from Quitman High School in Quitman, Ga. She briefly attended nursing school and later worked as a playground supervisor in Union. Following her marriage, she became a housewife, mother, and when Henry was called to active duty with the outbreak of World War II, the quintessential Army officer's wife.

Wherever Henry was stationed, from Alaska to Germany and points in between, Harriette created a warm and inviting home. She was a gracious hostess, a marvelous cook, an avid reader and bridge player, and a consummate volunteer. Harriette served countless hours as a Red Cross Gray Lady in military hospitals in Germany, at the VA Hospital in Lexington, Ky., and with blood banks and shelters for flood victims in Frankfort, Ky.

Harriette's Christian faith was an important part of her life. She and Henry helped to start the first Methodist church in Gatlinburg, Tenn., when Gatlinburg was just a little mountain town.

She was president of the Women's Society of Christian Service at First United Methodist Church in Frankfort, and she treasured her association with her UMW circle and the Mary O. Holler Class at St. John's United Methodist Church in Anderson until the changes wrought by Alzheimer's Disease made it impossible for her to attend.

A service of Death and Resurrection for Harriette Reed will be held at 11. a.m. on Friday at St. John's United Methodist Church, 515 S. McDuffie St., Anderson, with the Rev. Dr. William Childs officiating. Committal will follow at Ebenezer United Methodist Church. Visitation will be at The McDougald Funeral Home, 2211 N. Main, Anderson from 4 until 6 p.m. today.
