LORI REED
Lori Reed symbolizes what it means to show growth and achievement within a career and community
involvement. She grew up in the Wenatchee Valley graduating from Eastmont High School and
furthering her education at Washington State University, where she was a member of the Kappa Kappa
Gamma Sorority. After college, she moved to Seattle and started her career in the insurance industry,
as an Underwriter for Etna. After she met her husband Mike and had their son Jeff, they moved back to
the Wenatchee Valley and both began working for her father Bob Mitchell…and soon daughters Lauren
and Christine were added to the family. Eventually Bob, Lori & Mike started their own insurance agency
which is now Mitchell, Reed & Schmitten Insurance. Lori was one of two female insurance producers in
the valley at the time. Throughout her life she has gained a sense of community within her family and
with volunteering. When she isn’t working, she is amongst her family—living next door to her mom and
dad, aunt and uncle and cousins on their “family compound” Her whole adult life has been centered
around bringing people together. May it be with community involvement or her family, Lori has her hand
in everything.
For almost a decade she hosted bi-yearly lunches for local Kappa Kappa Gamma Alumni Lori is a
member of the Wenatchee Central Lions Club. She has served on their board of directors, been a lion
tamer, and is a past president, and also was presented with the highest award among Lions….the
Melvin Jones Fellowship award. She also played the piano at meetings….her family loved listening
to her practice. Lori also sits on the Mitchell Reed Schmitten and the Cashmere Valley Bank board
of directors, and is the International Insurance Agents and Brokers Association National Director for
Washington State, a title that she took only after she was President. But the Apple Blossom Festival has
definitely been one of Lori’s passions. Her daughters were both Top Ten Candidates, she was a Royalty
Chaperone for two years and a Pageant Director. Lori was the 2020 Director General of the Apple
Blossom Festival in the midst of a global pandemic. She held us all together with her positive outlook
and energy. Lori has a way of making you feel like you are the most important person in the room!
Thank you Lori for being you….we couldn’t have gotten through this year without you!Official Program of the Apple Blossom Festival • appleblossom.org Tuesday, May 25, 2021 15

75 Years of Parsons Photography
2021 Queen Brooke Perez recreates one of 1961’s Apple

Teacher: Mrs. Cleary
High School Tradition: Senior Skip Day to Chelan
Subject: Science
Hairstyle: Half up Half down
Happening in the world: The Covid pandemic.
Something I will always remember from my senior
year is being able to be a candidate in the Apple
Blossom Pageant when most of the world was shut
down for so long. It was the beginning of life coming
back to normal.
In 1960, Queen Kathy Whiteman-Chandler’s favorites:
Song: Summer Place, and “Apple Blossom Time”
Hangout Spot: Dusty’s or Vic’s Drive-in
Teacher: Mike Madland, chemistry and math
High School Tradition: hanging out in “Main” at lunch
Subject: Any math class, also Mr. Snow’s poetry class
Hairstyle: pageboy “flip”... I was so envious of the girls
who wore that style ... my hair wouldn’t cooperate!
Happening in World: JFK was elected President, Peace
Corporation established, Berlin Wall was built
Something I will always remember from my senior
year was the Apple Blossom Festival.
Sure Signs of Spring
