Reed, who has served the district since 1988, was diagnosed with lung cancer in September.
Last month we paid a visit to Reed, who spoke about her diagnosis and how her community has covered her in love and support.
“I still get phone calls from them through my police phone. They are constantly calling me to ask if I need anything,” Reed said.
After being diagnosed with lung cancer, Reed has been out of work and undergoing chemotherapy. The community standing by her side.
“They’ve been there for me and I’m blessed,” Reed said.
