Born on May 10, 1936 in rural DeWitt, IL, Beverly was the daughter of John D. and Delzena (Dolly) Reynolds.  She married John W. Reynolds on January 25, 1954 in Covington, IN.  They recently celebrated 72 years together.

 

Beverly was a dedicated homemaker and supportive farm wife who took great pride in caring for her family, home, and farm.  She lovingly raised six children and helped John in the farming operation running farm equipment during planting and harvest season.  In her leisure time, she enjoyed reading, traveling, quilting, and cooking for her large family.  Beverly was especially known for her exceptional baking, delighting neighbors with her famous cinnamon rolls and cream puffs.  With a wonderful sense of humor, her greatest joy came from being surrounded by family – especially her grandchildren – and listening to their stories.

 

She is survived by her husband, John; children, Gail (David) Piatt, Susan Faircloth, Danny (Terri) Reynolds, Beth Reynolds, and Ruth (Mike) Craig; 13 grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; 2 great-great-grandchildren; and sister, Debbie Bair.

 

Beverly was preceded in death by her parents; siblings Barbara Reynolds, David Reynolds, and Russell Reynolds; her son, Terry Reynolds; and grandson, Eric Faircloth.

 

A beloved woman who will be deeply missed by her family.  The family extends heartfelt thanks to Memorial Hospice Care for the compassionate support provided during her final weeks.
