Dorian Reynolds Obituary (1941 - 2022)

Our beloved mother Dorian Elsie Reynolds (Jones), 80, departed this earth on April 20, 2022 in Murray, Utah; surrounded by her devoted family. She went peacefully into the arms of the love of her life, leading her in a waltz to heaven. Born December 14, 1941, in McCloud, California to Arther Jones and Elsie Arthella Blackburn. She excelled in school and was the treasurer of her high school class. She attended the University of Utah and SLCC, earning a degree in accounting. Dorian lived in many states throughout her life, eventually settling in Murray, Utah. In her thirties, she co-owned a service station in Banning, California; and was skilled at car repair and servicing. She once fixed her own car after it broke down on the side of the road. She was in the auto industry for much of her adult life, with the crowning achievement of becoming the first female service manager (in Utah) of a car dealership. Dorian met her soulmate and husband Michael Reynolds later in life, at a singles dance; he literally swept her off her feet. They would "wow" the crowd when they took to the dance floor and even won some dance competitions. She was at her happiest when she was dancing in Michael’s arms. They had twenty blissful years together before his death in 2017. Dorian had many hobbies and interests. She loved collecting recipes and cooking; she would create culinary masterpieces to the delight of her frequent dinner guests. An avid reader, you would often find her cozying up with a book with her two Shih Tzu fur babies; Belle and Buddy by her side. She loved to fish and she taught her children and husband how to fish; and she had a knack for catching the big ones. Most of all, she loved her children and being a mother. She was close with all her children and grandchildren, and taught us the value of honesty and unconditional love. We will miss you like the deserts miss the rain. Preceded in death by her parents, brothers Jimmy and Dennis, sister Peggy, and husband Michael G.Reynolds, step brother Billy Joe Eden, John Dalley and step sister Leah Dalley Survived by siblings Sheradeen, Vickie, Darla, Joe, Randy and Janelle, 2 step sisters Adelle Romero and Pat Hill.
