Ellie Reed

Eleanor Muriel Langley Reed
Eleanor Muriel Langley Reed, of Dover, New Hampshire, passed away on July 28, 2026 at the age of 92.
As a church family, we are deeply saddened by the passing of our long-time member and sister in Christ, Ellie Reed, on July 28, 2026. While our hearts are heavy, we find our ultimate comfort in the unwavering promises of Scripture. We are reminded of the words of the Apostle Paul in Romans 8:38-39, which assure us that neither death nor life, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. We rejoice in the certainty that Ellie is now resting secure in that inseparable love.

Please leave your memories of Ellie in the comments.

Ellie loved reading Danielle Steele books. She always came into the VUCC library to get her next one. When she wasn’t able, Bill would come. Because we have a card system, it was easy to find one that didn’t have her name.

My thoughts and prayers for Bill in the loss of Ellie. I have missed them in church as I looked forward to seeing them each week. May she rest in peace.

Ellie and Bill were very devoted to one another. Bill told me the first time he laid eyes on Ellie, he knew she was the one! They took really good care of one another! I had a special connection to Ellie, because she and my Mom were both Eleanors, but they preferred being called Ellie! ♥️

RIP Ellie ?? You fought for so long- diligently and quietly. Bill was always by your side and idolized you❤️ I will never forget how you both survived the ravages of Ian with little or no power for weeks!! We were always worried as we talked with you in worship but you both were so strong!!

nWe miss you both here on Sundays. We send sincere condolences to Bill and the family.
