Marjorie Reed

Marjorie Reed was a patient at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital with terminal lung cancer.

History
Marjorie had small-cell lung cancer with mets on her liver. Her condition was terminal. She coded one morning, but was able to be revived. However, she was in extreme pain. When her daughter, Jeannie, stepped out of the room, she talked to Dr. Pierce and asked to be allowed to die. When she was offered the chance to sign DNR papers, she said her daughter would never allow it and her daughter had her power of attorney.

When she coded again later that day while her daughter was out getting dinner, Maggie did a slow code and allowed her to die.

Romantic
She was married for 65 years until her husband died.

Familial
Her daughter, Jeannie, was with her in the hospital. She didn't want her mother to die and pushed her to stay alive even when she was in extreme pain. When she was told that her mother had died, she was devastated.

Career
She, along with her husband, taught English in Japan for a while.
