Terri Reynolds Obituary

Terri Huffman Reynolds, 66, of Louisville, Kentucky passed away to our heavenly Father on Monday, September 16th, 2024.

She was preceded in death by her devoted husband, Richie "Poppy" Reynolds; her parents-James and Audrey Huffman; sisters, Frankie, Jackie, Sheila, and brother, Doug. She is survived by her sister, Brenda Schrader (Tommy), brother, Steve Huffman (Paula), sister-in-law, Mary Huffman; children, Erica Harper (Jimmy), MeLisa Gulley (Danny), Carl Heissler (Tiffany); grandchildren, Jaxson, Haley, Carl, III, Cameron, Stefanie, Lindsey; great-grandchildren, Maggie and Barrett; along with a large family of nieces, nephews, and thousands of friends throughout the Louisville Community. She was a lifelong Southend resident and graduate of Iroquois High School, class of '76. 

Terri lived life to the fullest. She was a huge animal lover, and rescued many cats and dogs, her crown jewels being Spanky and Leo. 

Known as "Momma Terri", her biggest joy in life was volunteering with the Louisville Metro Police Department, spending thousands of hours of her free time supporting the men and women who serve. Her love for volunteerism extended even further as a member of the citizens advisory board for the 3rd Patrol Division for over 12 years, and as the Advisory Board President for the past 4 years. She was also in a leadership position as a member of FOP lodge 614's auxiliary board, where she often cooked meals for members of the FOP family.

Terri enjoyed entertaining her friends where she bartended in the southend - most recently, at BJs. She was known there by many who loved her dearly as she gave them huge smiles and hugs that left them covered in glitter. She never turned down the opportunity to karaoke her favorite song, and dearly missed her favorite singing partner, Richie. 

Terri was a lover of all things Christmas and hosted many Christmas Eve gatherings where she was known for reading "Twas The Night Before Christmas". She always found a reason to celebrate and have fun with family and friends. She loved summertime pool parties, banana trees, talking on the phone, and making people feel special. 

Terri was a believer in God, her family, her country, her community, and those who served our community. She will be dearly missed by all who had the honor of knowing her.

Visitation will be held on Friday, September 20, 2024 from 11:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. at Newcomer Cremations, Funerals & Receptions, Southwest Louisville Chapel, 10304 Dixie Highway. A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, September 21, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. at Kenwood Baptist Church, 3805 Southern Parkway, Louisville, Kentucky, with burial to follow at Evergreen Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky.
