Crowe and Bertie Ellington Hartgrove Crowe; the love of her life, her husband of 69 years, John Reynolds, Jr.; her son, John Reynolds III; her granddaughter, Christina Ann Keaton; and three sisters Bee, Tancie, and Betty.  She is survived by her daughters Bertie Jo (David) Whitaker and Josie Keaton Golden; grandchildren Amy (Gary) Allen, Keith (Mandy) Whitaker, and John (Ben) Keaton; great grandchildren Alicia (Jeremy) Aker, Ava Whitaker, and Ella Whitaker; great great grandchildren Lily Gammon, Josh Gammon, Justice Aker, Jacob Aker, and Joseph Aker; and several nieces and nephews.
