Mary Reed was Malcolm and Madeline Reed's mother, and Stuart Reed's wife. During the 2150s, Mary Reed resided in Kota Bharu in Malaysia. (ENT: "Silent Enemy", "Affliction")
In 2151, Jonathan Archer contacted her and her husband to find out what Malcolm's favorite food was. He learned that Malcolm had not talked to his parents in years because of his father's disapproval of his joining Starfleet. Mrs. Reed did inform Archer that she did not know Malcolm's favorite food as he never made any special requests for any specific dish. (ENT: "Silent Enemy")
Mary's husband was an avid collector of insects, much to her dismay. (ENT: "Hatchery")
When Malcolm was working with Andorian Lieutenant Talas on Enterprise NX-01's weapon's systems, he told her "when it comes to our weapons frequencies I wouldn't trust my own mother." When asked if his mother was "considered a security risk?", he explained that it was just an expression, one Talas held was "an odd one," before sharing that her own mother had a higher security clearance than she did. (ENT: "Proving Ground")
Mary Reed was played by actress Jane Carr.
Her name comes from the script.
