Jeanne Reynolds

She was born to Milton Francis Cullis and Ivy Jocelyn Frampton Cullis on November 19, 1929. She was 94 years old.

Jeanne was born and raised in Parkside, PA. She graduated from Media, PA High School, and then went to work at the Atlantic Richfield Company (now ARCO) in Philadelphia. She married James Lewis Reynolds of Springfield PA in 1950, and they settled in Media, PA. Once the first child arrived, Jeanne became a full-time homemaker. In 1956, the family relocated to Mobile AL when transferred there by Scott Paper Company. There, two more children joined the family. As a couple, Jeanne and Jim were avid square dancers. Jeanne also was a Girl Scout leader for many years. (Jimmy Buffett’s little sister, Lucy, was in her Brownie troop!) She also became proficient in making large braided rugs from sheets of felt that were dyed, cut, braided and sewn in a large oval shape. She also worked part time as a women’s dress salesperson at J C Penny.

The family returned to the Philadelphia suburbs in 1967, settling once again in Media, PA. They divorced in 1972, and Jeanne found her calling as a travel agent, starting her own agency in 1980. During this time she traveled abroad extensively. In 1985 at 56 years old, she and her older sister opened, owned and operated one the original UPS type shipping stores in Brookhaven, PA. Eventually, Jeanne became a caregiver to her grandchildren before relocating to Rolling Green Village where she enjoyed five great years of friends and activities. She is survived by her children, Jennifer Reynolds, Jeff Reynolds, Jill Witmer and grandchildren Shelle Diem, Ivy Robinson, David Witmer, Eric Witmer, Ethan Reynolds, and Cooper Reynolds. She is preceded by her sisters Jocelyn Watt, Betty Shearer and grandson John Witmer.

A private service will be held at Rolling Green on December 11, 2023 at 1 PM. Burial will be private.
