Sandra "Sandy" Reynolds, 78, passed away on Sunday, August 17, 2025, at her residence surrounded by her loving family, after a courageous battle with illness.

Born on October 24, 1946, at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Youngstown, she was the proud daughter of the late Howard and Dot Brush.

Sandy graduated from South Side High School and dedicated many years to the trucking industry before successfully running her own business, LightHouse Tax Services. While she was a hardworking professional, her greatest joy came from spending quality time with her grandchildren. Sandy also cherished her beloved dog, Bella. She formerly had horses and was a member of the 4H Club. She also enjoyed reading, baking and fishing.

Sandy will be profoundly missed by her devoted husband, James Reynolds; her children, Rebecca Foster (Charles Burk), Orval Ray Foster Jr., and Patti Foster (Frank Augustine); her cherished great-granddaughter, who was raised by her, Marley Kiefer; and her 8 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. Excitingly, Sandy was looking forward to becoming a great-great-grandmother, as her great-granddaughter, Aaliyah, is expecting.

She was preceded in death by her first husband, Orval R. Foster Sr., and her sister, Barbara Ware.

In keeping with Sandy's wishes, there will be no services held. She is under the care of the Arner Funeral Chapel.
