Seymour George Reynolds' Obituary
Seymour George Reynolds, age 95, passed away peacefully the morning of May 28, 2019 in hospice care at Golden Life in Greenville. He is survived by his wife of 71 years, Kathleen (Hill) Reynolds, and five children, Mary Ellen (Steve) Papes, Christine (John) Paris, Andrew (Christy) Reynolds, Amy (Vic) Reynolds-Herman, and Bennett (Linda) Reynolds.
Seymour and Kathleen (also known affectionately as Sy and Kaki) raised their five children on a farm just north of Six Lakes. They worked hard on the farm to support a busy, healthy family of seven. He was a farmer by profession, working the family farm with his father as a boy, and later his own farm with his eldest son until retirement. After Sy retired from farming, the couple moved to Derby Lake, and traveled Michigan in their cute little motorhome; sometimes with friends, sometimes just the two of them.
As Grandma and Grandpa, they have enjoyed many years on Derby Lake entertaining 15 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren. Sy was a man of invention on the farm and in his leisure time. He was at home in his shop building playsets for his grandchildren, building furniture for his children, and conjuring up home improvement projects for his wife. He was a fisherman, traveler, reader, collector of words, sports fan, avid card-player, and generous host to family and friends alike.
A private service will be held in Edmore. Donations can be made to Trinity Church Food Pantry at 415 N Mill St, Stanton MI 48888.
