Myranda Reed
Myranda Brook Reed, 41, of Richland, WA, passed away on Monday, November 11th in her family home.
Myranda was born June 22, 1978 to loving parents Melody and Richard (Rick) Reed in Yuba City, CA. She spent her early childhood in the Sacramento, CA area before moving to Augusta, GA where she attended a special program at Greenbrier High School. In 2001, Myranda moved with her parents to Richland, WA.
Myranda had severe cerebral palsy since birth and yet touched countless lives without ever speaking a word. She inspired several careers in special education and changed many peoples’ perception of handicapped individuals.
She was a parishioner at Christ the King Catholic Church of Richland and especially enjoyed the music during services (except when they sang in a minor key!). In fact, music was in many ways the language Myranda best understood. She was an avid fan of most all genres- including rap- but James Taylor was by far her favorite.
In passing, Myranda joins her maternal grandparents Mary and Jack Morrison of Marysville, CA & Gardnerville, NV, her paternal grandparents, Barbara and Richard Reed of Yuba City, CA and her Aunt Lynda Morrison-Rader of Carson City, NV.
Myranda is survived by her mother, Melody (Morrison) Reed and father, Richard Reed of Richland, WA, who lovingly cared for her each day of her life. Brother, Adam Reed of Richland, WA, sister, Jessica (Reed) Rittenhouse and niece, Kadence (Kady) Rittenhouse of Benton City, WA. Aunts Janet (Reed) Tumminelli and Deanna Reed. Uncles Peter Tumminelli, David Reed and Tom Rader. Cousins Stephanie (Hardie) Allen, Virginia Hardie, Brian Tumminelli, Kara Tumminelli, Christopher Reed and Stephanie (Altrock-Reed) Bailey.
Mass for Myranda will be held Friday, November 15 at 2:00 pm at Christ the King Catholic Church. On Wednesday, November 20, there will be a viewing and final burial amongst Myranda’s grandparents, great-grandparents and extended family at Sierra View Memorial Park in Olivehurst, CA from 12:00 pm-2:00 pm.
Myranda was cherished by her family and will be sincerely missed.

“And this old world must still be spinning ’round; And I still love you. So close your eyes. You can close your eyes, it’s all right.” -James Taylor

It was a privilege to care for Myranda during my nursing school days. We shared a love of music and it was amazing how her face would light up when I would turn a song on. I’ll never forget my time with her. ❤️
