Brigitte Reed Catrett, age 78 Inverness, FL passed away June 20, 2024 under the care of Hospice and the staff at Arbor Trail Skilled Living Facility.
Brigitte was born in Karlsruhe, Germany on May 10, 1946. Her parents were John and Rosa (Aman) Herold. She came to the United States at the age of 16. She had 5 sons: Larry Reed and his wife Lori of Homosassa and Robert Reed and his wife Jenna of Missouri. Her other three boys, Michael, Charles, and Fred predeceased her. She also is survived by 5 grandchildren, Larry Jr., Jeffrey, Amanda, Bailey and Robert(RJ) Reed, 2 great grandchildren, Christian Sloan and Brody Reed. She was also survived by her most precious love, Foxy. Foxy was her devoted fur baby for 14 years.
Brigitte came to Citrus County in the late 60’s and founded Reed’s Boarding Home on Forest Drive in Inverness. During these years, she nursed and cared for many senior citizens who found themselves with no funds or place to live. She gladly took care of them without charge in many cases. After many years of operation, the business was sold and became New Horizon’s Assisted Living Facility. It still remains in operation today at the same location.
The family will hold a Celebration of Life at a later date. Cremation arrangements are with Chas. E. Davis Funeral Home With Crematory .
