Mary Reed’s mother, Cecile Jones Frazier. “Aunt Cele” taught kindergarten in Williamsburg, Iowa for 30 years. She was one of the few women who were not forced to quit teaching when she had children. Her husband, Paul, was off working construction for the War Department in Alaska, so Cecile was a single mother during much of World War II. Circa 1955
Bob and Mary Reed, immediately after their wedding service on June 17, 1949 at the First Presbyterian Church in Iowa City, Iowa. Mary passed away in June 2005, 11 days before their 56th wedding anniversary. Bob passed away 3 months and 3 weeks later. They were still very much in love.
