Carol "Wagner" Marlene Reynolds
7/5/1950 - 7/1/2013
Carol Marlene (Wagner) Reynolds
Our beloved wife, mom, daughter, grammy, sister, aunt and friend lost her courageous battle with breast cancer July 1,2013. She was surrounded in love by her family when she was called home.
Carol was born July 5, 1950 in Santa Monica, CA to Malcolm and Enola Wagner, and grew up in Los Angeles. She moved to Texas in 1965 and met the love of her life, Jimmy at Surfside Beach. They married on May 12, 1967, and thus started 46 years of love, laughter, children and grandchildren.
She left to cherish her memory her husband, Jimmy, mom Enola and children, Jamie (Donna) Reynolds, Rona (David) Beckham, and Trisha (Cliff) DuBose. She was preceeded in death by her father. Carol was blessed with nine grandchildren who kept her young: Bryan (Tiffany) and Becca Reynolds, Courtney Reynolds, Troy and Brooke Beckham, Alyssa Perez, Mason, Cayla and Lauren DuBose. Siblings Patty (Les) Cannady, Danny (Tiffany) Howell, Paul Howell, Leslie (Darryl) Terry and Sid (Rose) Howell. She enjoyed a large extended family which included many aunts, uncles, neices and nephews, as well as many "adopted" kids.
Carol spent many years caring for other people's children; during that time she raised her own kids, crocheted and quilted many piles of blankets, cross-stitched many a picture and still had time to order future birthday and Christmas gifts from QVC. Hardly was there a day when the UPS truck didn't stop at the house. She was forever working on a new craft or sewing project. During the holidays, she spend days baking mass amounts of goodies that many were blessed with. Her home was always open to those in need and advise was freely given.
When grandkids came along, life took a different pace. There were trips to the zoo, ball games, more quilts (smallish size) and very special memories made at Easter and Christmas.
A memorial service celebrating her life will be held at Trinity Christian Center at 1280 Hospital Drive in Angleton, TX at 3:00pm on Saturday, July 6, 2013. Arrangements are being made by the family and Lakewood Funeral Home.
