Luther Reed

Luther Lee Reed of North Little Rock was reunited with his wife and parents on October 19, 2021, after passing away at the John L. McClellan Veterans Memorial Hospital at the age of 83. He was born May 17, 1938, in DeWitt, Arkansas, the son of the late Lacy and Willie Mae (Turner) Reed. Luther was a proud veteran who honorably and selflessly served in the United States Marine Corps from 1956 until 1959, achieving the rank of Lance Corporal. On August 3, 1962, Luther married Ms. Maggie Louise Crow. This union would stand the test of time, lasting fifty-six years, until Mrs. Reed’s passing on September 17, 2019. Working together the Reed family built a home on the principles of love, loyalty and respect. Mr. Reed will always be remembered as a hardworking and dedicated family man. His genuine interest in the lives of those around him and his ability to enrich those lives will be greatly missed.  In addition to his parents and wife, Mr. Reed was preceded in death by his brother, Don Reed.

Those left to mourn his passing include children, Peggy (Abe) Sbait, Bonny (Mark) Kirk, Wanda (Jeff) Craig and Lucas Reed. Other survivors include nine grandchildren, twenty great grandchildren: brother Roy (Joyce) Reed, many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

Mr. Reed will be laid to rest next to his wife, with military honors, at the Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery.
