Nancy Jean Reid

These words cannot possibly sum up the life of such a beautiful person, but provide a glimpse into her blessed time here on earth.

Nancy was born to John and Phyllis Tinkey on July 3rd, 1950 on a farm outside of Brookings, South Dakota. Nancy grew up in Brookings with her parents and siblings Joe, Pam, and Loni. They then moved to Long Beach, California where she met the love of her life, Lee Reid. They married when Nancy was 16 on July 27, 1966. Nancy and Lee had three children Lisa, Michelle and Misty before moving to Galena, Missouri where they had one more child, Jimmy. They raised their children together in McCord Bend Village, Missouri before returning to Brookings, South Dakota to help with Nancy’s parents.

Nancy was a loving mother, grandmother, and friend. Her greatest love was get-togethers with the family for special events and holidays. She loved to spend time with her grandkids and wouldn’t pass up an opportunity to be there for them.

She was preceded in death by her husband Lee Reid, and her parents John and Phyllis Tinkey.

Nancy is survived by her siblings, Joe, Pam, and Loni. Her daughters, Lisa Buckley of Sioux Falls, Michelle(Adrian) Reid of Sioux Falls, Misty Reid of Big Stone City, and her son, Jimmy Reid of Sioux Falls. Also, by her 6 grandchildren, Lee (Katie), Joshua (Camyrn), Tyler, Tia (Samuel), Devyn, Isaac, Lochlan, Tanner and Monroe and 2 great grandchildren Carson, Amelia, and Chloe.
