Nancy Ellison Reid

June 29, 1943 - June 19, 2015

Our beloved wife, mother and grandmother, Nancy Ellison Reid, passed away early Friday morning, June 19, 2015 in her sleep. Nancy was born June 29, 1943 to Frederick Henry Ellison and Lorean Grange Ellison in Provo, Utah. She loved Utah and never wanted to be any other place. Our mom was baptized a member of The Church Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, when she was eight. She was always so excited because her father, mother, grandfather, and her uncle were all baptized the same day. Mom met and courted her high school sweetheart, Don Reid in their junior year. They married in June of 1961. For most of her married life, mom was a homemaker and loved every minute of it. In 1993, mom and our grandma started working for a janitorial company. They worked two or three hours each night and really enjoyed it until our grandma passed away in 1997. Then mom and dad worked the job together until 2003. Mom loved this job, getting out for two or three hours every night and having something to do. She is survived by her loving husband, Don Reid and her four children: Vickie Reid Martinez, Randy Reid (Beth), Tracy Marks (Jason), all of Provo and Jenny Reid of Keansburg, NJ. She had 14 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents and half-sisters, Betty Brown and Helen Johnson. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Wednesday, July 1, 2015 at the North Park 3rd Ward Chapel, 1066 West 200 North, Provo, Utah.
