Dona Reed was known by many of us, especially those special guest speakers to past Jefferson, Texas, Bigfoot conferences, as a kind and friendly host. She will be missed. My continued condolences to Craig and all members of the family.
Let me pass along this personal message from Craig, followed by parts of her formal obituary.
I appreciate all of the thoughts concerning my mom’s passing.
She was an integral part of us having a Texas Bigfoot Conference. When I decided to hold a conference, I relied on her as a member of the events committee of the Jefferson B&B Association to help me plan the event, venue, and so forth.
The first year, 2001, she and my stepfather cooked and served the dinner Friday night, cooked and served a pancake breakfast that was open to the public and over 100 people showed up, as well as served lunch and refreshments during the conference.
In short, the conference the first year would not have happened without their help and support.
They were involved every year through 2008. They catered the dinner in 2008.
The services have been set for next week in Jefferson.
Visitation will be held from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Monday evening with a Rosary being held at 6:30 p.m. at the funeral home.
