Mollie Kay Reed

Mollie Kay Reed, a loving wife, devoted mother, proud grandmother and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on July 28, 2025, in Weirton, West Virginia, at the age of 75.

Born November 19, 1949, in Wheeling, WV, Mollie lived a life marked by quiet strength, humor, and unwavering devotion to her family. She found joy in the simple pleasures: the rustle of leaves on a porch breeze, the pages of a good Stephen King or James Patterson novel, and the laughter of grandchildren echoing around a campfire. Whether enjoying nature’s stillness or wrangling the latest antics of her beloved husband, Douglas, Mollie lived each day with grace, wit, and an eye for life’s meaningful details.

Mollie was preceded in death by her grandparents who raised her, Annie and George Mossor, and her son, Douglas Michael Reed Jr. She is survived by her husband and partner of many cherished years, Douglas Reed Sr., along with her children Marcus Reed (Amy), Michelle Webster (Terry), and Sheri Cronin (Paul “Jason”). She also leaves behind her sister, Bonnie Sherwood (John), grandchildren Hope, Alexis, Marcus, Ava, and Kristin, and great-grandchildren Elijah, Kameron, Karah, and Kinslee — all of whom brought her endless pride and joy.

To her family, Mollie was the heart of every gathering, the calm in life’s storms, and the one who always knew when it was time to sit, breathe, and enjoy the world around her. Her strength, wit, and fierce love will be remembered and deeply missed.

A private family burial will be held at a later date, in keeping with Mollie’s preference for quiet dignity over ceremony. The Martin Chapel of Care Funeral Cremation Specialists in Calcutta has been entrusted with the arrangements.

Though she has left this world, her story continues in the lives she touched and the memories she leaves behind — each one a chapter filled with love, laughter, and the kind of wisdom that only comes from a life well lived.

In lieu of flowers, the family wishes donations be made in Mollie’s name to Pine Grove Church: 2506 Township Road 289 Hammodsville, OH 43930.
