Service Details

Sally Joann Reed, 75, passed away on May 20, 2022 at Independence Village Waukee. She was born in Des Moines on August 23, 1946 to Arthur and E. Irene (Forster) Painter.

Sally was employed by Luther Park Health Center as a Supervisor of Laundry Services. She enjoyed watching the Hallmark Channel, scary and Christmas movies. Sally had a sweet tooth that could never be satisfied – which tied really well into how sweet she was. She had a sassy, spicy side that kept everyone on their toes.

She loved hugging and kissing each of her great grandchildren; Avah, Arianna, Tristan, Rosalie, Raelynn, Joseph and two additional babies on the way. Sally crocheted every graduation blanket for her grandchildren and loved to make blankets for every great grandchild born.

She loved all of her children. Sally was always proud of their accomplishments and would do anything for anyone – anytime!

Sally is survived by her children; Jackie Vroegh (Jesse) of Urbandale, Steve (Becky) Reed Sr. of Adel, Will Reed of Des Moines and Ron Reed of Mason City; grandchildren, Steve Reed Jr, Dustin Allen (Ashley), Skyler Allen (Chris), Brandi (James) Drahos, Amber (Sam) Scott, Payton Reed, Justice Reed and 8 great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Ronald A. Painter.
