Ruth Reynolds

Ruth Marlene Reynolds made her journey home to our loving Heavenly Father during the early morning hours of October 4, 2014, after a courageous battle with stomach cancer. She was born to Murray and Marilin Fisher on August 18, 1954, in Englewood California. She spent most of her early years in northern California where she met and fell in love with her eternal companion Roy Vernon Reynolds Jr. They were sealed for time an eternity on March 24, 1973, in the Oakland California Temple. Together they raised four wonderful children. Marlene had a love for life and adventure, she loved traveling in her motorhome with her family and exploring new places. It was her love of exploration that took her all over the world. She was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She joyfully served in many callings including three service missions. She had a strong testimony of the Gospel and a great love of the Temple, which she attended weekly. She was gifted with many attributes including a great sense of humor, if you doubted that she was funny, she would tell you. Another one of her gifts was her ability to create beautiful quilts. Through her membership in the quilting guild she developed many lasting friendships. Her capacity to love and humbly serve others was remarkable, she touched many lives. Of all the things she loved and all the lives she touched, family was always the most precious to her. She was a devoted mother and grandmother. Her 19 grandchildren all felt loved and cherished by their grandparents. They looked forward to special trips with grandma and grandpa each summer. She will be greatly missed until we meet again.
Marlene leaves behind her husband Roy Vernon Reynolds JR. Her daughters Jennell Evans (Joseph), Kristen Arave (Shane), and Kemberly Thompson (Justin). Her son Roy V. Reynolds III (Camille). Her 19 beloved grandchildren, and 9 siblings. She was preceded in death by her parents Murray Fisher, and Marilin Fisher Brown.
The family would like to offer a special thanks to Marlene’s sister Diane Elmer for her unending devotion to Marlene’s care in her last days. They would also like to thank all those who touched Marlene’s life including the medical staff at Dr. Hanson’s office and Intermountain Home Health and Hospice.
