Debra Sue Reynolds

Debra Sue Brown Reynolds age 73 of Factoryville, Pa passed away peacefully surrounded by family and friends on 11/20/25 at Green Ridge Care Center in Scranton, Pa.

Debbie was born in Scranton, Pa on 12/27/51 to the late Samuel B. Brown and Shirley Mae Hopkins Brown. Her father Sammie passed at a young age and Debbie and her sister Judy were lovingly raised by their Stepdad Arthur William Logan.

Growing up in the Country Debbie and her sister had a love for horses and spent countless hours on horse rides and caring for the animals. Once in High School Debbie quickly met the love of her life William Thomas Reynolds who she would be married to for 51 years. Shortly after high school Debbie and Bill would marry and she became the proud mother of two children, Janelle Marie Reynolds (deceased) and Christopher John Reynolds (Quakertown). Debbie spent many years as a stay-at-home Mom raising her children and providing them with fun summer adventures with family and friends, also while maintaining part time jobs on the weekends. She eventually would find her career as part of the Lackawanna Trail Elementary Center Cafeteria, first starting at the Nicholson Elementary School, where she absolutely loved caring for and watching all the children grow up. In fact, years after retirement, she would still see past students around the community and would always remember their names! Outside of work and once retired Debbie enjoyed going to craft shows and antique malls with her sister Judy and sister-in-law Kathy and collecting antique crocks and various items. She definitely loved to shop and was always on the hunt for a good deal! Debbie always put people before herself and would always be on the lookout for gifts she could give, and we joked because she would start Christmas shopping the day after Christmas for the following year! In her later years Debbie was an amazing caretaker for her husband who developed dementia and provided so much love and help to her granddaughter and great granddaughter who she loved immensely. Debbie and her laughter and love will be missed by many.

She was proceeded in death by her daughter Janelle Marie Reynolds, and her husband William Thomas Reynolds. She is survived by her son Christopher John Reynolds, Granddaughter Hailey Victoria Seymour, Great Granddaughter Savannah Marie Leonard and sister Judy Brown Johndrow and nieces and nephews.

A celebration of life for both Debbie and her late husband Bill, who passed just 1 month and 1 day prior will be held at a later date. The Family would like to extend a heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Willowbrook assisted living in Clarks Summit and the Nurses and Aids at Green Ridge Community Center in Scranton for their exceptional care during her final time of life.
