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.

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?

Hi everyone. This is my first post here.I lost my brother in December 2024 to an accidental overdose. He passed away suddenly in his sleep. We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
