Early life and family

She then competed for New Zealand at the 1950 British Empire Games in Auckland where she finished sixth in the women's 3 m springboard.[4]
Later life
[edit]After Reid's marriage to Clifford William Hodgson, she lived in Auckland where she continued her interest in diving as a secondary school diving coach and judge. She also served as a diving delegate to the Auckland Swimming Centre.[5][6]
Reid died on 13 November 2001 and was cremated,[7][8] with her ashes interred at Purewa Cemetery in Auckland.[9] She had been predeceased by her husband in 1983.[6]
