Obituary for Wallace Frederick Reynolds
On November 6, 2022 Jesus took Wally’s hand to reunite him in heaven with his wife Margie. A private service will be held at Golden Oaks Chapel.
Wally was born in Trumbull, Connecticut to Harry and Mary Reynolds. He was preceded in death by his parents, four brothers and a sister. He is survived by a daughter, Kathleen and husband Peter Muriana of Stillwater, OK and their son, Christopher Muriana of Palmdale, CA, a son Timothy Reynolds of La Quinta, CA and a brother Craig Reynolds of La Quinta, CA. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews.
Wally graduated from Roger Ludlowe High School in Connecticut in 1940 and was immediately hired by DuPont Co. to work as a welder. WWII was imminent, so he took a job in the Alcoa CO. making airplane cores.
War broke out and he enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1942. He fought in man battles including the fierce fighting of Tarawa, Saipan and Tinian in the Pacific. Discharged at the end of the war in 1945, he was hired by Southern New England Telephone Company. which is now AT&T.
Wally was a member of the V.F.W. and served as a vice president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce of Connecticut.
After 30 years at the telephone company, Wally and Marge retired and moved to Palm Desert, CA so Wally could play golf every day. He also enjoyed playing bridge and the guitar.
Wally was involved in numerous civic affairs in the cities of Palm Desert and La Quinta, CA. He was hired in Palm Desert as a code enforcement officer. Wally was instrumental in sponsoring a new Senior Center in La Quinta, CA and was president of that organization for 3 years.
Wally and his wife moved to Stillwater, OK in 2004 to be near their daughter Kathleen, son-in-law Peter and grandson Christopher. They were married 73 years when the Lord accepted Marge. He was a devoted and loving husband.
When he turned 90, he said “How did I get this old this soon?” Wally always had a clever saying “Wallyism” for anyone who would listen.
Wally was proud to have reached his 100th birthday in July 2022 He enjoyed his celebration with family, friends and care givers at Golden Oaks. He will be remembered for his smile and songs he sang to his care givers and friends.
Wally and his family are very thankful for the loving care, concern and friendship he and his wife Margie received at Golden Oaks Assisted Living. The were his support system and friends.
His family would also like to thank Companion Healthcare, Stillwater Cancer Center, Home Health, all health care professionals and Karman Legacy Hospice for their kindness, care and concern.
