POPLAR BLUFF, Mo. — Carolyn Sue Reed, 73, of Poplar Bluff, departed from this life Friday, June 7, 2019, at Saint Francis Heart Hospital in Cape Girardeau, Mo. She was surrounded by family.

Mrs. Reed was born in Poplar Bluff on August 24, 1945 to the late William Gardener and Myrtle Morse Gardener.

Carolyn was a long time member of the Altrusa Club. She was employed by Dr. Jerry Long for over 30 years.

She loved Christmas time and spending time with her many friends and family, but her greatest joy came from spoiling her grandchildren.
