Carolyn Sue Reid, 84, of Leander Texas, passed away on Friday, January 19, 2024 in Marble Falls, Texas. She was born in Pampa, Texas to Franklin and Mildred Baer on July 9, 1939.

She graduated from Dumas High School in Dumas, Texas in 1957. Following graduation she attended West Texas A&M, where she graduated with an elementary education degree in 1960. While at West Texas A&M, she met the love of her life, James “Jim” A. Reid and they got married on June 18, 1960. She worked as a teacher for many years at Kerrville ISD, Dumas ISD, Ingram ISD, and Tilden ISD.

Carolyn was the picture-perfect, Proverbs 31 wife. She loved her husband dearly and enjoyed watching him coach basketball. She was one to always be found either in the kitchen, their garden, or at the basketball gym watching her three children play basketball and follow in the family business to become coaches. She loved and supported her five grandchildren as they played and coached various sports.

She was married to Jim for 42 years and was active in her church. She loved the Lord and was always looking for ways to serve those around her. She never knew a stranger. Her love was always shown through good food, lingering hugs, and a welcome smile.

Carolyn was preceded in death by her father, Frankie Baer; her mother, Mildred Baer; and husband Jim Reid.

Survivors include children, Gari Lord, Kelly Witte, and Jim and Brooke Reid; sister, Vicki and John Walker; grandchildren, Blair and Justin Johnson, Zach Lord, Jace Reid, Sydney Reid, and Cort Reid.
