Obituary

Norman Lloyd Reed, 85, of Umatilla, FL, passed away on Saturday, December 28, 2024, after battling with Parkinson’s Disease. Norman was born in Gouverneur, NY, on September 13, 1939. He joined the Air Force in May 1963 and served until March 1967 when he was honorably discharged. He served as a medical assistant in the Vietnam War and was a small arms expert.

He married his high-school sweetheart, Brenda Matthews in July 1968 and they were happily married for 38 years before he lost Brenda to a long battle with breast cancer in November 2006. Norman was a very hard worker and worked in the maintenance department at Mission Inn Golf & Tennis Resort for over 40 years before retiring.

He is survived by his two daughters, Kimberly Sleeper and Karen Fox of Umatilla; granddaughter Jade Krupa; grandson Dustin Albert; and brother David Reed of Umatilla.

Norman will be inurned at Greenwood Cemetery at a later date. No services are planned at this time. Arrangements by Baldwin Brothers Tavares.

    Dad, I love you and I will miss you. I know we miss you greatly here, but you got to go home to see Mom just in time for her birthday (12/29) and I'm sure she was surprised! Now you both can rest in peace together as I know she has been waiting a long time for you. You were the best dad and I love you so much.

    Norm,
    You were such a valued co-worker, I hope I told you often enough. The company wouldn’t have been what it was without your dedication and support. You will be missed.
