We gather today not to mourn, but to celebrate — to celebrate the remarkable life of Ava Reynolds. From their earliest years to their final days, Ava lived with a purpose that was unmistakable: to love and be loved in return.

Ava was born in 1931 and spent a lifetime building a legacy of goodness. In San Antonio, TX and beyond, their name was synonymous with integrity, warmth, and unwavering support for those they called family and friends. A devoted soul, Ava found joy in the simplest moments — shared meals, quiet conversations, and the company of those they treasured most.
