Betty Sue Reynolds

March 12, 1936 - April 30, 2022

Betty Sue Reynolds, 86, of Mentor, died April 30, 2022 at Altercare of Mentor. She was born March 12, 1936 in Cleveland, OH. Mrs. Reynolds was an avid crafter and seamstress. She enjoyed crocheting, doing needlepoint, and in recent years, coloring. Betty’s passion however was sewing, which included making her own wedding gown. She was always happy to hem a pair of pants, replace a button, make curtains or even an entire outfit. Much greater than her fondness for sewing was Betty’s love and adoration of her family. She delighted in spending time with her daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren, no matter what the activity. Her love for them was clear to all who saw the sparkle in her eyes and the smile on her face when she was with them. They put a smile on her face every day. Survivors include her daughter, Elizabeth “Liz” (Ray) Paduano; grandchildren, Nicholas and Olivia; brother, David (Sally) Renard; and her brother in law, Larry Shriver. She is also survived by many other loving family members and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, David L. Reynolds; parents, Harold and Gertrude Renard; and sister, Jean Shriver.
