Tomi Charmane Reed, age 31, of Leitchfield, passed away, Saturday, August 1, 2026, at Baptist Health, in Louisville, Kentucky.
She was born June 1, 1995, in Greensburg Indiana, to Gina Rae Masden and the late, Thomas Noah Reed. She was a loving daughter, and her greatest joys were her children. She was a former employee at Walgreens as a cashier.
Our hearts are shattered by the loss of our beloved Tomi. She was a daughter, a mother, a sister, an aunt, a friend, and a soul who loved deeply. She had the most beautiful smile that could light up an entire room and a laugh that made everyone around her smile. She loved to dance, be goofy, make people laugh, and bring happiness wherever she went. She never met a child she didn’t adore, and nothing in this world meant more to her than her beautiful children. They were her heart, and the greatest joy of her life, and her reason to keep fighting.
In addition to her father, she was preceded in death by her grandparents, Thomas Wallace Reed, Kathy Mae Basham and Billy Ray Mudd Sr.; an aunt, Vicki Lynn Chandler; an uncle, Wallace Thomas Reed; and a cousin, Jessica Nicole Reed.
Tomi is survived by her mother, Gina Rae Masden and stepfather, Norman Dale Masden; her children Zakkary Williams, Korbyn Williams and Piper Rae Reed; four sisters, Brittany Eastman, Alyssa Lanae Vigil, Lacie Andrae Wooden Parker and Kirsten Lynn Wooden; a brother, Noah Presley Reed; her aunts and uncles, Crystal Willis, Bill Mudd, Stephanie Hack, Anthony Dale Reed, Deedee Smith and Jason Reed; her paternal grandmother, Linda Reed; a niece and nephew that is expected to arrive in October 2026 and many other nieces, nephews and cousins that loved her very much.
The family would like to give special thanks to Dylan and Carly Chandler for their love and support.
By the wish of the family cremation was chosen.
Watkins Funeral Home is in charge of all arrangements.
