BETTY REED was born on August 28, 1947 in Youngstown, Ohio to Merl and Norma Reed. Her family moved to Albuquerque in 1956 where Betty graduated from Sandia High School in 1965. Betty then attended UNM and received Masters in both Public Administration and Criminal Justice. Betty had many honors as an educator and rehabilitation counselor. She helped thousands of people, in multiple states and even started a homeless shelter for teens. If anyone needed help they could count on her open door policy. Betty would help if you needed a place to sleep, something to eat or just a friend to talk to. She would always be the first to help in any way she could. Betty was preceded in death by her mother, Norma Reed and a sister, Patty Lewis. She survived by her father, Merl Reed; sister, Sally Wiscott; son, Michael James and wife Renee; brother-in-law, Ronnie Wiscott; and many nieces, nephews, and many, many close friends.
