RIP Janice Reed, 1101 Chief Steward

Janice Reed died on December 31, 2020 after a courageous battle with cancer. Janice was the Chief Steward at Arms Acres for more than ten years, and an 1101 steward for ten years before that. She retired from Arms Acres in the summer of 2019 (you can read about her time as Chief Steward here), but her heart stayed with the people there. Janice combined a fierce dedication to protecting her members with a wicked sense of humor and deep compassion for her co-workers.

RIP Janice Reed, 1101 Chief Steward
