Sherry Peeples Reed

Sherry Peeples Reed 69, of Tallassee, Alabama, originally from Eclectic, passed away at Baptist Medical Center South on June 1, 2026, surrounded by her loved ones. She was born April 4, 1957, to Harold and Carolyn Peeples. Sherry was a graduate of Castleberry Christian Academy and attended Trinium College for a short time, majoring in business, but put being a mother first. She later found her calling, billing and selling insurance. She loved to cook, especially when her granddaughters joined her in the kitchen. Sherry was a firm believer in family and traditions including annual Christmas fruit cakes she baked in efforts to keep her grandmother’s spirit alive. She was a member of First Baptist Church in Tallassee, where she was active in her Sunday School class and helped with Vacation Bible School when she was able. She had an uncanny knack for entertaining children.
