Janet Kay Reynolds November 13, 1954 – December 30, 2018 Share this obituary Local Florists Sign Guestbook| Send Sympathy Card Funeral services for Janet Kay Reynolds, 64, of Huntington will be held Thursday, January 3, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. at Huntington First Baptist Church with Dr. Darryl Smith and Shane Stover officiating. A private, immediate family interment will follow in the Ben Walker Cemetery. Janet, or “Nanet” as she was known to so many, was born November 13, 1954 in Lufkin, Texas to Dorothy (Walker) and Edmond Myers, Jr., and died Sunday, December 30, 2018 in a Houston hospital after a hard fought battle with breast cancer and resulting heart complications from treatment.
What can you say about someone whose untimely departure leaves such a gaping hole in the hearts of so many? A paragraph in the newspaper could never be sufficient, as anyone who knew her would attest. Janet was a person who was, above all things, a giver of herself.
She gave her time, she gave her help, but most of all, she gave her love to everyone who came around her. She treasured spending time with her family and friends and loved her children and grandchildren beyond measure. She selflessly took care of other people and always put others before herself.
She enjoyed traveling with her family and friends, spending as much time as possible in Colorado during the changing of the leaves in the fall. She loved playing cards, dominoes and doing jigsaw puzzles, especially at the family’s beloved river camp on the Angelina River. Although quick to admit that she lacked musical talent, she spent hours listening to her family practice singing and playing.
She was the most wonderful mother and grandmother, leaving kids and grandkids who never had to question how deeply she cared for them. She was saved and baptized in the church she grew up and served in for many years, LaLa Hill Baptist Church in Huntington, Texas. She recently became a member of Huntington First Baptist Church.
To say she will be missed is such a gross understatement; it is painful to even make such an assertion. Her absence leaves us aching. She was the glue that held our family together.
Survivors include her husband of forty four years, Bruce Reynolds of Huntington; daughter and son-in-law, Loren and Josh Lowe of Corrigan; son and fiancée, Brent Reynolds and Melody Stone of Huntington; grandson and granddaughter, Walker and Lanah Lowe of Corrigan; mother and stepfather, Dorothy and Sammy J. Crain of Huntington; brother and sister-in-law, David and Jackie Myers of Huxley; mother-in-law, Naida Reynolds of Huntington; best friend Karen Keaveny of Covington, Louisiana; and a number of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her father, Edmond Myers, Jr.; and father-in-law, Vaughn L. Reynolds. Pallbearers will be Josh Lowe, David Myers, Roy Reynolds, Sheldon Reynolds, Blake Myers and Zac Treadaway.
Honorary pallbearers will be Neil Reynolds, Chris Thomasson and John Dacus. Memorial contributions may be made to The Joseph House, P.O. Box 150554, Lufkin, Texas 75915. The family will welcome friends and loved ones from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Wednesday evening at Carroway Funeral Home in Lufkin.
