Krista Lynn Reed – age 50, passed away July 25, 2025, in Nashville, TN.

Preceded in death by her son, Allen Garton.

Survived by her mother, Paulette Reed; step- father, Tommy Rigsby, daughter, Allison Atchison (Josh); son, Cameron Garcia; daughter, Madison Garcia; son, Kerry Reed; fiancé Adam Tidwell; sister Heather Reed; brother, Jeff Reed; grandchildren, Naveigh Atchison, Liam Atchison, Miguel Garcia, four-legged companions Oscar and Marley and numerous other nieces, nephews and other family members.

Krista had a kind gentle way about her that made even a stranger feel at home.  She was nurturing, protective, understanding and was unapologetically herself no matter what.  She had a passion for music, animals, crafts, cooking, doing makeup and gardening.   If you visited her, you were sure to not leave empty handed whether it be food she cooked for you or something she has collected for you that made her think of you. She loved with her whole heart and would have given the shirt off of her back for anyone.  Krista’s children and grandchildren were her entire world.  She will be missed immensely by so many.

  5. I love you mommy, I hope you’re proud of what we were able to accomplish for you.. I know you’re looking down so grateful and so proud of mine and Adam’s strength to pull this off… we will all be able to be together despite the situation.. that is all you ever wanted and I will have peace in knowing I had a part in making that happen for you.. go rest with your boy and hug his neck so tight for me… one sweet day we will be together again until then- don’t worry I have it taken care of down here. I got your babies- all of them.. go rest. I’ll love you forever , like you for always… forever my best girl ❤️

  6. oh my sweet mommy, i found the scent you’d always put in millions of wax warmers you had around the house and it brought me back to school days when you’d wake me up and do my hair, pack my lunch and take us to the bus stop and you’d be waiting at that same bus stop when 3:30 came around to get your babies off the bus. i’ll cherish every holiday you went above and beyond for to give us the best childhood most kids didn’t get to have. You made everything so special and i thank you for giving me those motherly traits i’ll share with my children one day. I love you to the moon and back and back again as you’d always say.

  9. I’ll always be thinking of you Aunt kika. You were so amazing and always there for me. Whether it was picking me up when I was younger or being there for me when I just needed to talk. You aren’t in pain anymore and I know you are watching down over us. Give us strength and rejoice with everyone up there. I love you

I love you and wish i could tell you a million times. thank you for being so loving and nurturing to me, making me feel like one of your own and not your niece, always laughing with me, taking my side, and always making sure i was happy. i miss you so much.

  16. We knew each other since we were very young. I remember my mama and daddy coming to your house and your parents and mine would play cards until very late. Even though wevhavent seen or talked to each other in years it’s still hard to believe you are gone! I will miss you girl!
