Obituary
Shirley Ann
Reynolds
(September 12, 1943 - August 19, 2021)
SHIRLEY ANN EARWOOD REYNOLDS, 77, of
Huntington, left this life to start her heavenly journey on Thursday, August
19, 2021. She was born September 12, 1943, the 10th of 11 children of the
late James Lester and Lillie Elizabeth Erwin Earwood.
She is also preceded in death by her brothers Eddie, Charles, Lowell, Leon
and Larry Earwood, as well as her sisters Leona Earwood, Ocie Williams and
Wilma Burdette. She is survived by a brother, Jerry Earwood and sister Linda
Adkins Roberts.
She is survived by her husband of 53 years, Marshall Reynolds and her two
sons, Jack (Tracey) and Doug (Maria) Reynolds. Shirley enjoyed nothing more
than her seven grandchildren, who called her Nana. Marshall Taylor, Jackson
Lee, Douglas McKeon, Marshall Truman, Douglas Grant, Justice and Claire, all
of Huntington, will miss their Nana immensely.
Often described as a “spitfire,” Shirley enjoyed cooking huge meals for
friends and family; a true culinary production!
She was passionate, driven and dedicated to the success of her children and
grandchildren, and was her husband’s biggest cheerleader and defender.
When her boys played sports, Shirley had incredible intensity and vocalized
it to referees, who cringed when she walked into a gym, knowing she would
let them know exactly what she thought.
Marshall University football and basketball was another passion of
Shirley’s. Whether she was seated on the field or in the stands, she cheered
on her Thundering Herd!
Funeral services for Shirley Reynolds will be at 2 p.m. Monday, August 23,
2021, at Apostolic Life Cathedral, 350 Staunton Street, Huntington, Bishop
Edwin S. Harper and Rev. Mark White officiating. Interment will follow in
Woodmere Memorial Park, Huntington. Friends may call from noon until service
time at the cathedral.
Klingel-Carpenter Mortuary is assisting her family with arrangements.
