Biography
Reeder was born on July 26, 1916, in Flagstaff, Arizona. She was the daughter of accomplished botanist Leslie Newton Goodding. Picking up from her father, she began to help him identify species in Arizona. She attended the University of Wyoming, earning her M.A. in 1939 for her thesis on Muhlenbergia. She then took classes at Oregon State University where she met John R. Reeder. The two married in 1941. With her husband conscripted in the military during World War II, Reeder went to work at the Smithsonian Institution under Agnes Chase.
Upon John's return from the war, he took a post at Yale University and the couple moved to Connecticut. Reeder continued her studies on Muhlenbergia, titling herself "Rogue Botanist". The Reeders moved to Wyoming in 1968, where they collaborated on work at the Rocky Mountain Herbarium of the University of Wyoming. In 1976, they moved to Tucson, Arizona, to research at the University of Arizona Herbarium.
After a severe car accident, the two decided to retire.
Legacy
The genus Reederochloa and species Muhlenbergia reederorum were named in honor of the Reeders by Thomas Robert Soderstrom.
