Lila L. Reynolds

Lila L. Reynolds, born on August 18, 1947, in Allegan, passed away peacefully on June 26, 2025, at the Family Living AFC Home in Richland, after a long battle with Vascular Parkinsonism Disease and Vascular Dementia. She was the beloved daughter of Albert and Pauline (Clauser) Smith, who preceded her in death.

A proud graduate of Allegan High School in 1965, Lila initially dedicated herself to her career as an inspector at Parker Hannifin until 1984. It was that same year in Las Vegas that she married her devoted husband, Donald, marking the beginning of a beautiful partnership. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and shared values.

Lila was fiercely devoted to her children, Brian Reynolds and Scott Moore, as well as to her daughter, Melissa Reynolds, who had special needs. Her unwavering commitment to caring for Melissa for 24 years stands as one of her proudest accomplishments, reflecting the depth of her compassion and maternal strength.

Her interests and hobbies painted a picture of a vibrant life; she found great joy in gardening and was a wonderful homemaker who loved to bake, particularly cookies and pies. Lila was admired not only for her skills in the kitchen but also for her meticulous housekeeping abilities. She enjoyed attending Brian’s soccer, baseball, track, cross country, and swimming activities. The holidays were especially cherished times for Lila, as she delighted in cooking Thanksgiving and Christmas meals for her family.

She leaves behind her loving husband, Donald, her children, Brian Reynolds, Melissa Reynolds, and Scott Moore, as well as her grandson, Trevor Hoekstra. Lila is also survived by her siblings, Barbara White, Willard Smith, and Robert Smith, along with several nieces and nephews.

Friends may visit with Lila’s family starting at 4:00 P.M., Monday, June 30, 2025, at the Winkel Funeral Home, Otsego, until the time of the funeral service at 6:30 P.M. Cremation will follow.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff, especially Patty, Crystal and Gretchen, for the wonderful care given to Lila during her stay at Family Living AFC Home.

Contributions in memory of Lila may be directed to the Parkinson’s Foundation.
