Maredith was a fixture in Newfoundland in the North Central state for at least 15 years (that's where my memory gets to). She made the Newfoundland Club of America's quarterly publication, NewfTide to a truly polished, professional magazine that won numerous awards. She and her husband Sid founded Emmabay Kennels and owned and bred many champions, obedience titlists, working titlists and companion dogs. She was hard-working, honest and a strong booster of the Newfoundland breed. The club will make a donation to the NCA Health challenge in her name. We will miss her. For those of you wishing to send a letter of condolence to Sid, his address is: 632 Baums Bridge Rd Kouts, IN 46347 Maredith Caroline Reggie Obituary MAREDITH CAROLINE REGGIE VALPARAISO, IN Maredith Caroline Reggie, age 75 of Valparaiso, passed away on Saturday, November 15, 2014.
