Shelia Mae Reynolds

Shelia Mae Reynolds, 90, of French Lick, formerly of Orleans, Indiana, entered into eternal rest on September 24th, 2023 at Springs Valley Meadows in French Lick, Indiana.

She was born in Riddle, Indiana (Crawford County) on March 21st, 1933 to Ray and Etta (Long) Brown.

Shelia was married to Bill Shelton from 1948 to 1958 and then married John Reynolds in December 1960 and he preceded her in death on August 2nd, 1985.

She was also preceded in death by her parents; Infant Daughter – Rena Shelton; Son – Paul (Beanie) Shelton;

Shelia attended Riddle Elementary and Leavenworth High School.

She was a homemaker and some of her favorite activities included playing slots, watching basketball, bluegrass music, traveling, camping, boating and mowing her yard.  She loved visiting with family and friends in person and on the phone.

During her lifetime, she loved spoiling numerous stray dogs and cats (especially cats) which somehow showed up at her house.  The staff at Springs Valley Meadows said Shelia could spot the resident cat when she couldn’t see anything else!  She collected many quilts that she gifted to her children and grandchildren.
