Amalie M. Reynolds, 82

April 10, 2020

Amalie “Molly” Marie Reynolds passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family on Friday, April 10, 2020 at the age of 82. Born February 1938 in Lancaster, she was the daughter of the late Josephine and John Arthur Shultz.

She attended Lancaster Catholic High School and graduated in the class of 1956. After graduation, she proudly joined the United States Air Force, and was stationed at Randolph AFB in San Antonio, TX. Her service to her country was something she was most proud of.

Molly will be remembered for her dedication to family, church and community. She was involved in several organizations including the Red Cross Gray Ladies, International Graphoanalysis Society and the former, Consumer Protection Agency of Lancaster. She also served as Judge of Elections for Lancaster city’s Eighth Ward – Sixth Precinct for many years, and a retiree of the Lancaster County Library.
She also found great joy in her faith. She was a lifetime member of Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church and she belonged to The Legion of Mary & Golden Hills organizations. She often visited church members daily throughout Lancaster County.

With a large circle of friends, she was a 25-year cancer survivor and loved great conversation with anyone. Quick with a smile and her ever upbeat attitude towards any situation, made life and hope for tomorrow always possible.

Her love will live on in her brother, James Shultz, husband of Joan, of Manchester, NH; sister, Victoria, wife of Richard Valles of Newark, OH; her five children, David Reynolds of Lancaster, Carrie Seguin of Gretna, NE, Brian Reynolds, Alain Reynolds, husband of Dawn, and Matthew Reynolds, all of Lancaster. She is also survived by 4 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.

A memorial service will be announced at a later date.
Molly’s family would like to thank the nurses, staff and volunteers of Hospice and Community Care and the members of Saint Joseph’s Church for their compassion and much needed help. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations in Molly’s name be made to Hospice and Community Care, 685 Good Drive, Lancaster, PA 17604.

Reynolds Family,  So sorry to hear of your mother’s passing.  She was a wonderful person and is in good hands with God.  I new her way back when some of you were in elementary school with my children.  I have always admired her loving spirit!  Joan Asso

Dave, Carrie, Brian, Alain and Matthew – My heart goes out to you on the loss of your Mom. I have very fond memories of her while growing up next to you over on Poplar St. She had a heart of gold and was always so nice (and patient – as your big yard was the place to hang out!) I hope you can find solace in remembering all of the good times you had with her – she will be missed.

Please accept my deepest sympathy in the passing of your mom.  I remember her very fondly as a devoted mother who supported her family.  I recall many conversations with her as she made us all laugh time and again. What a zest for life and making others feel loved and accepted!  She surely will be missed by many whose lives she touched.  I fondly remember all of you guys from school! you guys were the best! You remain in my thoughts and prayers.

I  read Molly’s notice with a feel of loss, as I am sure her family is feeling, too. It was my privilege to have stimulating Bible discussions with Molly. She loved to hear what the Bible says about the earthly resurrection and the paradise to come when no one wil get sick or die again. I also knew her mother who lived next door. Her notice summarized her to a “tee”.  Please take comfort in the God of all comfort,  2 Corinthians 1:3, 4.

I was saddened to read about Molly’s passing in the paper.  She was a very sincere, caring person who always brightened my day when I was lucky enough to be her teller at the bank. She was also a valued  friend to my late husband’s family.  Please accept my sympathy and know how proud she was of all of you as you deal with the grief of your loss, make that our loss.

I worked in the children’s department of the Lancaster Public Library from 2000 to 2002; Molly was working for the system office at that time, and we would see each other often around the building. She was always helpful and kind to me and made my day a little brighter. I am sorry for your loss.

I was a delivery driver for Crystal springs until August of last year. I delivered to her house for many years. Occasionally she would be home and come out to talk. What a sweet lady she was. We had some nice conversations, mostly of eating! She as always spoke of her son who lived up the street. May she rest in peace.
