Shirley Reynolds

Mrs. Shirley Reynolds, age 73 of LaFollette passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 29, 2025. Shirley was a member of Fincastle Church of God and was an inspiration to anyone that knew her. Her greatest joys were her children and grandchildren. She was an avid reader, however, as time passed and this was no longer possible, she could be found listening to her favorite book, the Bible. She also loved to bake and make candy at Christmas. Many of her friends and family have been gifted with her treats over the years.

Ellis, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Lewis and Lois Reynolds, J. Will and Polly Reynolds, Evelyn Reynolds, Charles Reynolds, Donald Reynolds, Jean Reynolds, Joy (Reynolds) Henegar, and her faithful companion, Admiral.
