Genevieve Reynolds Obituary

Genevieve "Gen" Harriet Reynolds, 86 of Coldwater passed away Friday, December 28, 2018 at ProMedica Coldwater Regional Hospital.

Genevieve was born April 22, 1932 to John and Gertrude (Riepma) Addink in Sioux Center, Iowa. She was a hardworking woman, working for GC Murphy Dime Store, Bronson Plastics and finally as a cook for the State Home in Coldwater, retiring in 1991. She married Owen Reynolds. He preceded her in death in 2003.
Gen was a woman of faith, attending Pleasant Hill Missionary Church. She had many interests including reading, bingo, and an occasional trip to the casino. Gen was a good cook and a great baker. She never followed recipes or measured her ingredients, but everything always turned out fantastic. In her younger years she liked taking motorcycle trips with Owen. Her true joy in life was spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. She will be remembered for her patient and loving personality along with her jokes and story-telling.
