Bonnie J. Reed

Bonnie J. (Brown) Reed, age 64, of Sligo, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, following a long, courageous battle with glioblastoma. She was born on February 28, 1962, in Clarion to the late Theodore Hilton and Bernice Belle Ferringer Brown. Bonnie graduated from Clarion Area High School, where she met the love of her life and best friend, Joseph “Joe” Reed. They were married on June 16, 1984, and shared forty-one beautiful years together. With heavy hearts, we remember a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, friend, and a woman of deep faith who passed away surrounded by love. She was a strong and devoted believer in the Lord, and her faith guided her throughout her life and courageous battle with cancer, bringing comfort and strength to all who knew her. Bonnie found joy in the simple and meaningful moments–spending time with her family, creating beautiful crafts with her hands, and enjoying peaceful camping trips. She was a member of Clarion County Campers Association, where she spent her summer days camping with friends and family, sharing many laughs, creating memories, and stories that will forever be told. Bonnie was blessed with an artistic eye, able to see beauty where others saw little and bring it to life through her crafts. She had a heart of gold–always putting others before herself, offering kindness without hesitation, and loving deeply and unconditionally. Her compassion touched everyone she met, and her generosity knew no bounds. Whether through a comforting word, a helping hand, or simply her presence, she made the world a warmer and better place. Bonnie will be remembered for her loving heart, her unwavering faith, and the way she brought people together. Her presence was a blessing, and her legacy will live on in the lives of her family and all who had the privilege of knowing her. Above all, she adored her grandchildren, Adleigh and Ryden Skinner, who were the light of her life. Bonnie cherished every moment spent with them, creating memories filled with warmth, love, and joy that will be treasured forever. In addition to her husband, Bonnie is survived by her children, Joey Reed of Sligo, Holly (Zane) Skinner of Sligo, and Adrianna “Anna” Reed, and Madeline of Pittsburgh; her grandchildren, Adleigh and Ryden Skinner of Sligo; two siblings, Lee (Linda) Brown of Huey and Trudy (Carl) Larson of Clarion; her beloved brother-in-law, Charles “Chuck” Schwab; niece, Brianna (Ben) Dehart; and great-nephew, Kayce Dehart.

In addition to her parents, Bonnie was preceded in death by two sisters, Brenda “Sis” Schwab and Margaret “Peggy” Renwick; four brothers, Gary, Rodney, John, and Ted Brown; two nephews, David Clark and Chad Renwick; and her father-in-law, Joseph “Skinny” Reed.
