It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Nora (Noreen) Mary Reynolds (nee Stack) age 95, dearest wife and loving mother, on Wednesday, August 21, 2019, peacefully with family at her bedside in Burnaby, BC.

Nora was born in London, England, in 1924 and would tell stories of when she would wander the commons and pick armfuls of bluebells and how she had fairies living at the bottom of her garden. Nora excelled in school and during her teenage years was awarded a scholarship to attend Coloma Convent Girls’ School.

During WWII, she bravely supported the war effort through the Battle of Britain, and met her husband-to-be, Ken Reynolds, who was a member of the Canadian Militia billeted in Coney Hall, Kent. They were married in 1944. In 1946, Nora traveled, as a war bride, to Ken’s home town of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and settled in to raise a family of seven children.

Nora was a devoted mother and a wonderful homemaker, who always made everyone feel welcome in her home and in any social setting. She enjoyed tea time with neighbours, gardening, knitting, reading history and biographies, activities at the Armouries and loved traveling to visit family and friends.

No matter where she traveled, she always loved Moose Jaw and was proud to call it home until 2002 when she moved to Vancouver, BC with her daughter Julie.

Nora was predeceased by her husband, Ken; parents, George and Nora; sister Patricia; sons, Paul and Danny. She is survived by loving sons Reg (Donna), Bruce (Debbie), Barry, and Terry (Aeriol); daughter Julie; sisters Sheila and Margaret; brother-in-law Barrie; nine grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and many cousins, nieces, nephews and numerous good friends.

Nora’s loving and kind demeanour will always be remembered and she will be forever in our hearts.

The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Fellburn Care Center for the excellent care they provided.

A private family memorial service will be held at a later date.
