Obituary For Nettie Reid

The beautiful life of Ms. Nettie P. Reid, our grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend came to a triumphant end on Friday, February 12, 2021 at Wendover Hospice House in Shelby, NC. She was the third oldest child of the late James “Jim” Porter and the late Venice Allen Porter and was born on February 23, 1945 in Spartanburg, SC.

Nettie was reared and raised to become a hard worker and an independent thinker. She attended John Chavis School in Cherryville, NC. She was married to the late Charlie Reid and was the proud mother of one son, the late Darrell J. Reid. As a single mother, she worked productively at PPG Industries and later retired from Impact Furniture Company in Hildebrand, NC.

After retirement, you could find her working in her well manicured lawn. She loved to stay busy whether it was cleaning inside or outside. Nettie was a sharp dresser and it showed especially on Sunday’s while attending her church Palmer Grove Baptist under the leadership of her beloved pastor, Rev. James L. Smith.

Nettie was preceded in death by her parents, her only child and two siblings, Arthur Porter, Sr., and Luvenia Phillips.

She leaves to cherish fond memories of her to her sister, Judy Woods of Shelby, NC; a brother, James “June” Porter of Kings Mountain, NC; a grandson, Nikolas Reid of Charlotte, NC; a special niece, Tammy Stephens; a god-son, Jonathan Goforth; long time friend who was like a sister, Nettie Goforth and a host of other nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
