December 26 2015: BRUNO, Rosalind R.

ROSALIND REED BRUNO

On the evening of Monday, December 21, 2015, Rosalind Reed Bruno of Silver Spring, MD left our world after a long battle with complications due to cancer, and passed peacefully with her husband and son by her side. A native of State College, PA, “Wendy” was preceded by her parents, former Pennsylvania State University professor Robert Rentoul Reed Jr. and Julia Marshall Reed. Wendy is survived by her husband of more than 45 years, Jim, son Chris (Melissa), grandsons AJ and Camden (who will both miss her snacks!), and her sister Christine (Burt) M. Reed Harris of Miami, FL.

A proud alum of her hometown university, she moved to the Washington, DC area and served as a statistician for the U.S. Census Bureau for more than three decades. Wendy was an avid gardener with roses, tulips, perennials and the like surrounding their Woodside Park home, and after her retirement, a member of the Montgomery County Master Gardeners club.

Special thanks to the dedicated staff of The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD, for their exceptional care in this difficult time.

Visitation services will be held at Francis J. Collins Funeral Home, 500 University Boulevard West, Silver Spring, MD, on Tuesday, December 29, from 10:30 to 11 am, where funeral service will follow at 11 am. Interment at Norbeck Memorial Park. Memorial contributions can be made to the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, affectionately known as “THON”, which raises awareness for the fight against pediatric cancer.
