LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – On May 22 this year the Lord called home our Pixie Angel! Deborah Louise Ford-Reed passed unexpectedly do to a short bout with cancer.

Her life was one of love, compassion and understanding. Her Moon Beams blessed Eugene and Maxine Ford on April 7, 1952.

As a fourth generation “Kelseyvilleian,” she grew up with her hometown, witnessing dirt roads and creek crossings give way to pavement and bridges, even the creation of Highway 29 into Lakeport.

In her 65 years of life, she has seen the beautiful snow of Big Sky Montana, and ventured east to North Carolina, eventually returning to the homestead in Kelseyville.

If you were ever to cross star paths with her, you know she was our caretaker, family mediator and “bestest” friend in life.

Like her turtles, she enjoyed a simpler pace of life and her happiness and love consumed you like a fairy song! She leaves us now to be with her fairies and turtles in the enchanted forest of Heaven.

Behind to carry on are her sons, Sirre Reed (Robyn) and Sean Reed (Farrah); nine grandchildren; siblings, Jen Ford, Denise Wiltse (Mike), Linda Breeding and Dan Ford; five nephews; two nieces; 12 great nieces and nephews; and three great-grandnephews, Don Jamison, Debbie Tempelton and Ron Reed; all her four-legged babies; and many loving friends and cherished memories.

Her heart was bigger than this world could contain, we will forever miss our Pixie Angel, more than there are stars and moons in the sky that she now graces with her fairy wings.
