Bobbie (Pistole) Reynolds

Bobbie Pistole Reynolds, 81, of Crossett, passed to her eternal life on May 15, 2023.  She was born on May 30, 1941, in Crossett to Vaughn and Lois McCain Pistole. 

Bobbie has been married to her husband, John Russell (Jack) Reynolds for 61 years. She has been his partner in raising their two daughters and his business partner on many exciting adventures. Perhaps their most community loved adventure was the Crossett Lanes.  She was an excellent bowler and even partnered with Crossett Public Schools to teach bowling to the P.E classes.  

Bobbie loved her Lord, her family, her friends, and the outdoors.  Watching birds, fishing, swimming, bowling, and playing canasta with friends made her happy.  Bobbie was a loyal wife, mother, sister, aunt, and friend.  While all who knew her will miss her greatly, we all take comfort that she is in Heaven enjoying all that has been prepared for her. 

Bobbie is preceded in death by her parents.  She leaves behind her husband, Jack Reynolds, and two daughters, Susan Walker and Barbara Bivings (Richie); and one granddaughter, Megan.

She was the second child of four and the first to enter Heaven.  Her surviving siblings are Louise Spurlin of Berryville, AR, Nancy Morton (Leon) of Little Rock, and Don Pistole (Dorinda) of Rogers, Arkansas.  She also had a host of nieces and nephews who adored their Aunt Bobbie. Her Sunday School class at First Baptist Crossett, the “Joy” Class, will also miss her very much. 

The family would like to thank the staff at Countryside Assisted Living facility where Bobbie has been loved and well cared for the last few years of her life.  Special thanks to Tammy and Crawford Adams
