In Celebration of

Patricia Reeves

July 14, 1954 - February 9, 2024

Patricia Reeves, M.A.
1954-2024

Patricia passed away from A.L.S. while in palliative care in Toronto. She is survived by her beloved husband, Don Reynolds and by their children, Caitlin Reynolds and her husband, Andrew Steele and Mark Reynolds and his fiancée, Enning Zhang.

She is also survived by seven younger sisters and brothers: Mary Stratton and her husband, Ken Stratton, Marilyn Reeves, Gord Reeves, Irene Reeves and her husband, Randy Damm, Doug Reeves and his wife, Ewa Reeves, Gwen Reeves and husband, Mark Damm and Gail Reeves-McAlpine and husband, Greg McAlpine.

She is also sadly missed by 13 nieces and nephews on the Reeves side and five from the Reynolds side.

Although college professor was her career, her happiest times were spent with family and friends. She led a charmed life all the way from the family dairy farm in Norwich Township, Oxford County to a career at Seneca College in Toronto. An Honours B.A. in Sociology (WLU) and an M.A. in Sociology (McMaster University) were instrumental in her journey.

Patricia has been a treasured friend for over 50 years. Her friendship and support has meant a lot to myself and my family, as well as. to our group of high school friends. We share many memories from regular get-togethers as well as major milestone celebrations. I will always remember the afternoon high tea in Toronto when we gathered to celebrate our 65 birthdays.

Your beautiful smile and warm, friendly persona will be forever with us.
