Babe Reed

ENOSBURGH - Arbutus B. "Babe" Reed, age 81, passed away on Friday, July 26, 2024 surrounded by her loving family at her home in Enosburgh.

She was born December 20, 1942 in Bakersfield to the late Floyd Sr. & Beulah (Foote) Jewett.

Babe graduated from Naugatuck High School in Connecticut with the class of 1961. She married Morton Reed and they farmed together for many years. She also worked in manufacturing at IBM for nearly 20 years. Wherever Babe worked she poured her heart and soul into her job, always showing up and ready to lend a helping hand. She enjoyed going for rides and traveling to tag sales throughout the area. She will be remembered as an exceptional mother, and an excellent cook!
