Mary Reynaud Obituary

Mary Frances Reynaud
September 10, 1928 - August 4, 2013
Resident of Corralitos

Mary Frances Reynaud, age 84, passed away on August 4, 2013 on Friendship Day. Indeed, a special soul whose loving presence in this world touched the lives of so many. Beloved and devoted wife of Henry Reynaud for 61 years. Loving mother of Donna Harlan and her husband Gary, Denise Reynaud Kennedy and her partner Jan Svoboda, Jim Reynaud, Lori Madden and her husband Tony. Cherished Grandma of Corie and Chelsea Harlan, Bryan and Jamie Kennedy, Ryann and Kylie Madden, Mikayla and Nicolette Reynaud. Adored sister of Barbara Murphey and Bette Ledbetter. Dear Sister-in-law of Adrienne Zimmerman and Rosalie Jacobs.
Mary's legacy of her generous loving heart, inner strength, joyful spirit and devotion to Henry, their family and her Catholic faith will live on in our hearts as a shining example of a life well lived with amazing grace. Together Mary and Henry enjoyed years of sailing with family and friends in their boat on the SF Bay, travel to Europe, Hawaii, the Caribbean, and touring the country in their RV. Annual family camping trips to Pinecrest Lake and picnic gatherings at Seacliff beach were particular favorite times and now cherished memories. An active dedicated member of the Holy Eucharist Catholic Church in Corralitos. Mary loved being a part of the Tuesday morning Ladies Rosary group. A proud member of the Red Hat Ladies, and for decades enjoyed a passion for making cross-stitching gifts for those she loved.
Our family is so grateful for the outpouring of love and support during our time of grief. Family and friends are invited to attend a memorial Mass at Holy Eucharist Church in Corralitos on Thursday, August 15 @ 11:00 a.m. A luncheon reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Relay for Life or Holy Eucharist Catholic Church "Feed the Hungry Program". 527 Corralitos Road, Corralitos, CA 95076.

Henry & family - So sorry to hear the news and very surprised although you did mention some health issues when we were together last. She was a wonderful person and I know my mom and dad always enjoyed your visits and card games, etc.
Sorry that we can not be at the services this week but our thoughts and prayers will be with all of you. Hope to see you all this fall.
