Michaeline Reed Ballard

February 27, 1969 — June 7, 2020

On Sunday, June 7, 2020, Michaeline Reed Ballard, loving wife and mother, passed away peacefully at her home in Memphis, TN after battling cancer. She was surrounded by her husband and three children. Michaeline was born on February 27, 1969, in Marrero, LA to Marvin and Dianna Reed. After graduating from Immaculata High School in 1987 and studying accounting at the University of New Orleans, she set out on a life adventure by marrying Linwood Ballard on July 14, 1989. They raised two wonderful sons Blake and Tyler, and a wonderful daughter Carlie. Michaeline’s dedication to her children and her love for reading led her to volunteer and lead the Accelerated Reader program at Southwind Elementary School. She later used her organizational talents as a library assistant at the school. Michaeline followed her love and passion of caring for cats by volunteering as an adoption specialist at Collierville Animal Shelter. She was an active member of St. Brigid Catholic Church and regularly served as a Eucharistic minister. She laughed with and loved her many caring friends, and enjoyed any opportunity to be with them, including playing trivia, bunco, and participating in church events. Michaeline is preceded in death by her father Marvin Reed of Marrero. She is survived by her husband Linwood (Todd); her three children, Blake, Tyler, and Carlie of Memphis, TN; her mother Dianna Rogers Reed of Marrero; and her two brothers Cyrus Reed of Marrero and Trever Reed of Sorrento, LA. An evening visitation will be held Monday, June 15, 2020, 5:30-7:00pm at Mothe Funeral Home 2100 Westbank Expressway in Harvey.
