Nancy Bosworth Reed

Nancy Bosworth Reed, age 72, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Mother’s Day, May 13, 2018. She has lived in St. Tammany for most of her life. She was carried from this world on the wings of angels to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for whom she lived her Christian life. She is without question overjoyed and in her glory to be able to stand hand in hand with Him now. Mrs. Reed was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on October 6, 1945, the second child of Jane Wood Bosworth (1908-2006) and Robert John Bosworth, Sr. (1908-1972). She lived in Metairie, Louisiana, along with her sister, Rosalind (1941-1995), and her brother, Robert Jr. (1947-1989), until her family moved to St. Tammany Parish in 1950. She attended both St. Peter School (Class of ’59) and St. Scholastica Academy (Class of ’63) in Covington, Louisiana. Ms. Reed earned both her B.A. and M.Ed. from Southeastern University in Hammond, Louisiana, and taught in local school systems for thirty years. She was a member and officer of the St. Tammany Parish Hospital Guild for 3 years from 2010-2013 after retiring from her career in education. She also served on the board of Young At Heart at First Baptist Church where she was a member of the church and the Ogea Adult Bible Fellowship Class. Ms. Reed then spent four years teaching her little angels at Mothers Day Out at First Baptist.
