Obituary for Reynolds


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Friday January 08, 1999

Elizabeth DoBell Reynolds, 83, born October 16, 1915, passed away on January 6, 1999. Her sweet and loving nature enriched the lives of all who knew her. She will be greatly missed. Elizabeth (Liz) lived a life of faith in God. Her deep faith carried her through the loss of two husbands, William E. DoBell and John P. Reynolds; and four children, John Reynolds, Mark Reynolds, Jeff Reynolds, and Bill DoBell. She was also preceded in death by her parents, Thomas K.D. and Laura Edwards Maddison; grandson, Brian Niggel; brother, Leroy Maddison; sisters, Gladys Biggs, Laura Peer, Dorothy Maddison and Mary Gray. In spite of the passing of these wonderful family members, her relationship with the Lord enabled her to keep smiling and giving love that sprang from His unending source. Her father was born in England and settled in Albuquerque where she and her siblings were born. He became a prominent lawyer and an influential influence in early Albuquerque. Elizabeth graduated from Albuquerque High School and married immediately after graduation. She is survived by sons, Tim Reynolds of Cedar Crest, NM, James Reynolds of Albuquerque, Rod Reynolds and wife, Elizabeth of Ohio, and Stephen DoBell and wife, Joanne Carlsson of Seattle, WA; daughters, Patricia Miller, Patricia Archibeck and husband, Ron, Antoinette Niggel and husband, Keith, Elizabeth Heise and husband, Richard, all of Albuquerque, RoseMary Martin and husband, Tom of Rio Communities, Belen, Barbara Trybul of Virginia, Celinda Kaelin and husband, Harold of Colorado; 32 grandchildren; 33 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; many nieces, nephews, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law; and very special friend and sister-in-law, Genevieve DoBell Ruttle.
