Joan Reynolds, age 84, died suddenly on October 6, 2015, at her home in Ossining, NY.
Born on August 13, 1931, in Stamford, Connecticut, she was the daughter of Willis and Angelina Nobile Springer.
On September 5, 1987, she married William Joseph Reynolds, who survives her.
In her own quiet way, Joan was a woman of many accomplishments. At a time, when most people would retire, Joan embarked on a second career by becoming a certified Home Health Aide. She worked in this capacity, until her retirement in 2008.
Due to a head injury, as a child, Joan was unable to continue her formal education. But, at the age of 79, Joan completed the requirement for her GED, in our four months' time, earning a 92.5% average.
Another one of Joan's accomplishments, was giving up both drinking and smoking, the same day, November 9, 1973.
She and her husband were longtime members of the Westchester County Democratic Committee, and she served as an Election Inspector for 32 years.
In 1988, she and her husband ran for Alternate Delegate to the Democratic National Convention.
Before her husband became sick, Joan and her husband enjoyed their semi-annual trips to Jamestown, NY for the Lucy-Desi Festival. In her spare time, Joan enjoyed knitting, crocheting, jigsaw puzzles and word search puzzles.
Joan is also survived by her two sisters, Vivian Brown of Peekskill, NY and Petrina head of Dover Plains, NY, and two brothers, Felix and Joseph. She is also survived by three aunts, Ginny Jahoda of Ossining, NY, Janet Williams of Norristown, Pennsylvania and Mary Boerner of Croton-On-Hudson, NY.

Private services were arranged by Dorsey Funeral Home, Inc., Ossining, NY.

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
