Amy Lois Reynolds

Amy Peet Reynolds, 86, passed away peacefully on the morning of August 23, 2024. She was born on April 22, 1938, in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Amy was a 1956 graduate of St. Charles Academy, and she met the love of her life, Rev. Deacon Jack Reynolds the same year.

Amy pursued her passion for education by earning both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Education from McNeese State University. She dedicated her life to teaching and spent 33 years as an educator at Mossville and Molo Middle School. Amy's commitment to her students and her love for teaching left a lasting impact on everyone she met.

She was a faithful member of St. Theodore's Catholic Church, where she sang in the choir and was a member of the Ladies Altar Society. Her greatest love was her family, and she cherished making those close to her laugh.
