Marie Ann (Myers) Reynolds, 85, lost a battle with cancer, but her mind, spirit and soul are renewed and rejoicing in heaven in the arms of her Savior, Jesus.

Born in Olney, she moved with her family to Davenport, Iowa, in 1963. She moved to Des Moines to finish her career with the phone company, then at retirement moved back to Olney in 1995. In 1989, she was brave and adventurous enough to visit her son and his family for two weeks in Zaire, Africa (now Democratic Republic of Congo). In 2012, she moved to Bedford, Ohio, to be near her son and daughter-in-law, and a granddaughter and her family.

Marie was preceded in death by her mother and father, Eva and Charles Myers; brothers, Chester and Richard; and ex-husband Jimmy Reynolds. She is survived by son, Rick and daughter-in-law, Carol; granddaughter, Jeni and husband David, with great-grandkids, Cora, Ben and Bekah; granddaughter, Ruthie and husband Jamie, with great-grandkids Sophie, Riley, Haddie, Micah, and Quincy; sisters, Dorothy and husband John, Betty, and Connie; brothers, Kenny and wife Sara, and Dewey and wife Karen; nieces and nephews and their families; along with other family members, friends, and neighbors.

God was always foremost in her life, evidenced by her family that knows and follows our Lord.

There will be a family burial followed by a memorial service at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 1 at First Baptist Church of Bedford, Ohio, where she was a member
