Arla Reynolds Obituary

Arla Fay Holbeck Reynolds

November 21, 1929 - October 23, 2025

Arla Reynolds, born November 21, 1929, in Coleman, S.D., passed away peacefully in her sleep on October 23, 2025.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, Don Reynolds; and her son, Blaine Reynolds.

She is survived by her daughters, Dawn Armour (Dell) and Ardeen Porter (Rick); seven grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; and five great-great-grandchildren.

Arla lived a long and loving life. Her mind remained sharp until the day she passed. She loved the Lord, her family, and peaceful time spent in her rose garden. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Services will be held in La Vernia, Texas, at a later time.
