Patricia Ann 'Patsy' Reynolds

Patricia Ann “Patsy” Reynolds, 82, Ashwaubenon, passed away Tuesday, May 8, 2012 at Woodside Lutheran Home with her daughter by her side. She lost her courageous 51 + year battle with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Patsy was born June 12, 1929 in Green Bay, daughter of the late Joseph and Lena (Piotr) Kacmarynski. She attended St. Joseph’s Grade School and was a 1947 graduate of West High School in Green Bay. As a child, Patsy would walk to school on her hands – all the way from Chestnut Street to St. Joe’s School. Patsy married Robert John “Bob” Reynolds at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Green Bay, on June 22, 1957. She met Bob, the love of her life, dancing the jitterbug at Bay Beach Pavilion. He passed away July 18, 2006. Patsy had been a member of Nativity of Our Lord Parish, and was a dedicated homemaker; a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She was a beautiful seamstress who created many beautiful dresses for her daughter and granddaughters until her arthritis made it difficult.
