Damon 'Pokey' Reed

 

4-13-17-damon-pokey-reedDamon "Pokey" Reed, 77, died peacefully at the Hospice of the Fisher Home in Amherst, Mass., on April 7, 2017, due to complications from Parkinson's Disease.

Born March 27, 1940, into the North Conway skiing family of Kay and Carroll Reed, Damon quickly became "Pokey" after the nurses took one look at her thick, black hair and nicknamed her "Pocahontas." From the get-go, Pokey was a mountain girl through and through, and loved skiing, fly fishing, hiking, and canoeing with family and friends. At Camp Arcadia, at school, in the family business, and in the Kearsarge neighborhood where she grew up, she excelled in sports and outdoor fun, and reveled in the many friendships that took root and nurtured her throughout her life.
