Obituary List

Mary Lois Reynolds, 87, passed away peacefully and entered her heavenly home on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, at Haven Hospice in Lake City, Florida. She was a beloved Christian wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and a respected business owner.

Mary was born on July 2, 1938, in Tampa, Florida, to the late Emory Bradley and Mary Cartie Williams. She was preceded in death by her parents, her two siblings, and her cherished husband of nearly 70 years, Ralph. Mary grew up in Tampa and attended Hillsborough High School.

As an incredible wife and partner, Mary supported Ralph through his military service, his 40-plus years at Booker and Company and his work buying and renovating many homes throughout the Tampa Bay area. She did all of this while lovingly raising their five daughters and successfully owning and operating her own hair salon.

Following retirement, Mary and Ralph moved to Ellijay, Georgia. Though they deeply loved the mountains, they returned to the Tampa Bay area in 2014 to be close to their family.

Mary's legacy of love will be cherished by her five daughters: Rebecca Davis, Sunni Christie, Stacey Doering (Jeffrey), Sara Gregory (David), and Rachel Williams (Jerry). She is also survived by her 15 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, many loving nieces and nephews, and her faithful canine companions Oliver and Teddy.

A Celebration of Life will be held on June 20, 2026 at Sara and David’s home.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in Mary’s memory to a veterans charity of your choice, such as the Fisher House Foundation, or to your local animal rescue.
