Pat Reed

Patricia Ann Bonner Reed was a wife, sister, mother, friend, and most importantly, a Christian. In the words of Kim Perkins, "Pat cheated God out of some time and didn't let any grass grow under her feet." Pat was born April 6, 1952. She married the love her life, Joe Reed, November 11, 1972. Over the course of the next 49 plus years, they enjoyed their life together. They were blessed with three sons, Scott, Russell, and Jacob and by three grandchildren, Jaxson, Lillie, and Libby. Pat graduated from Corsicana High School and attended Sam Houston State University. She was proud to be the first female member of Corsicana FFA. She worked for the USDA Farm Agency working as a program technician helping many farmers and ranchers. It was Pat's volunteer work that really shined through. She was involved in the Navarro County Go Texan and the Navarro County Youth Expo for many years. She served on the Blooming Grove School Board as well as the Navarro County Credit Union. There are many people that received some constructive criticism- a "chewing out"- from Pat. Through her work with 4-H and FFA, she gained many bonus kids. Pat was a member of the Blooming Grove United Methodist Church. If her boys had friends over on a Saturday night in their younger years, they all got up and went to church with Pat. Pat knew the importance of having God in your life and wanted others to know as well. Pat was preceded in death by her parents, Leroy and Valda Bonner, and her younger sister, Ledeana Bonner. She is survived by her husband, Joe, her brother, Wayne Bonner and wife Amy, and her kids Scott, Russel and wife Audrey, and Jacob Reed as well as three grandkids, Jaxson, Lillie, and Libby Reed as well as numerous extended family members and friends. Honorary pallbearers will be Dan Kent, Larry Gillin, J D Johnston, Clayton VanLoocke, Cody Mulder, Josh Tackett, Troy Lane, Harry Dotson, Noah Grounds, and Scott Spenser.
