Bernadette L. Reynolds, 47, went home to be with our Father on June 9, 2011 at St. Joseph Medical Center in Kansas City.
Bernadette was born December 23, 1963 to Lewis and Barbara (McGhee) Reynolds, one of four daughters. She graduated from Butler High School in the class of 1982. Her family and friends will always remember Bernadette’s ability to remember details about people; and especially that she had a very big heart. She deeply loved her son, Elliott Steinhaus.
Bernadette loved flowers and ran a mean produce stand – she definitely knew her flowers.
Bernadette was preceded in death by her father, and lifelong friend Tami Case. She is survived by her mother Barbara Reynolds of Butler; sisters Theresa McBride and husband Scott of St. Louis; Judith Atty and husband Mike of South Kansas City; and Barbara Mendoza of Hutchinson, Kan.; her son Elliott Steinhaus and father Keith of Drexel, Mo.; dear friend Karl Monard of Montrose, Mo.; numerous nieces and nephews, and friends.
Per Bernadette’s wishes, cremation has been accorded. A memorial service will be at noon Wednesday, June 15, 2011 at Mullinax Funeral Home, Butler (660) 679-0009.
